Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Artist will learn the traditional Japanese process of byóbu, or free-standing folding screens. Execution of this learned craft will be demonstrated in a public exhibition of work scheduled at the Carnegie Art Center in Mankato. 2: The artist will have a public exhibition and teach a concurrent craft and concept workshop. Workshop will introduce traditional carving, printing, and book-binding processes to southern Minnesotans. Artist will maintain record of workshop attendees and guest list for the public exhibition.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The artist made a smaller accordion folding screen which led to the creation of a 40inx 120in two sided panoramic woodcut print. After much experimentation, artist decided the two sided panoramic print would better fit the space and the content than a folding screen. The scale, emotional impact, and the dichotomy between the two sides were maintained. 2: Artist had two piublic exhibitions and taught two craft and concept workshops. Workshops taught traditional relief carving/printing, and book-binding processes to students at the Carnegie Art Center in Mankato and the Grand Center for Arts and Culture in New Ulm.
