The materials used differ as well: metal, glass, raw fibers, handmade paper, fabric, twine and found objects. Lara Schoonover website: www.schoons.comBio statement: I gravitate more to textural and three-dimensional work, but vision and expression drive my art. I create mixed media sculpture, wall hangings and wearables that explore themes in history, symbolism, music, dance, spirituality, feminism and self. I have a BFA in Fibers & Textiles with minors in Metalsmithing & Ceramics from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. I have been exhibiting in juried and non-juried shows across the USA since 1986. | | Red Tulle Scarf Tulle and glass beads, 207.01 x 33.02 cm | | Always Mixed media, 38 x 27.94 x 20.32 cm | | | | | | Dichotomy Mixed media, 92.71 x 27.94 x 8.89 cm | Memory Line Mixed Media, 81.28 x 30.48 x 15.24 cm | More on the next page | | | | | | | | |
