This Month's Featured Artist

Elaine Hanowell
I begin a carving with a definite vision, but once a piece is underway it awakens a process of listening and watching. This is what is exciting. I like to make images that offer intimacy and yet sustain an ambiguous mystery. My current body of work explores relation-ships between fragility and unity.

I began experimenting with paper and light in the mid-eighties which led to making light sculpture. Light and layered paper evokes a warm, festive feel. Working with beautiful handmade and antique paper, I like the unexpected effect of depth with overlapping edges. My travels have led to wonderful finds, such as delicate paper made alongside a river in Laos, and more commonly found incense wrappings.

Currently I am using acrylic panels for contemporary wood-frame lanterns. Acrylic lends itself to multiple applications that can be layered and removed for an interesting play with light.
