Meet Taft’s February Rotational Artist, Sally England, in-residence at the Protea Studio from February 3rd-February 25th. Through the use of ancient handwork techniques such as knotting, weaving, and twining, Sally England aims to bring the past into the future. Sally’s fiber-based forms are inspired by the human connection to nature, as well as geometry, architecture and symbology. Working primarily through muscle memory, Sally's work creates a sense of wonder, connection, and potential through all her work. Sally sees Taft as a magical Seussian garden, an inspiring land of discovery and wonder. Her curiosity lies in the question "What creatures lie within?" Sally earned a Bachelors in Communication Arts from Grand Valley State University and attended Pacific Northwest College of Art MFA in Applied Craft & Design. Pop your head into her studio during your next scheduled visit to Taft to see her works-in-progress until February 25th.
