With bitter sweet tears, we congratulate our beloved Judy Taylor on celebrating her 80th trip around the sun. She is also celebrating her retirement from her 26 years as bookkeeper and many other hats here at Allied Arts. We will miss her amazing skills at whipping out last minute financial reports for grants almost as quickly as she can make online purchases for new office equipment. We never were short on printer paper or a kind though sometimes sarcastic word. We will miss her on-going exclamations of “What is this?” and “Lord Loved Duck” We wish you all the best on your new adventures and we already have a list of projects for you just in case you miss us.

"I have been casting clothing into handmade paper for a long time. Because I learned a pouring method of papermaking called “nagashikomi” in Echizen (Fukui, Japan) in 2015, I have been exploring the technique in order to cast the textures of clothing. This series is about human connection. Instead of fighting, I like to see that people are holding hands. Clothing without human bodies can show gestures, personalities, and what is lost."

Allied Arts acknowledges that we gather on the traditional territory of the Lhaq’temish – Lummi People – and the Nuxwsá7aq – Nooksack People – who have lived in the Coast Salish region since time immemorial. We honor our relationship with all of our Coast Salish neighbors and our shared responsibilities to their homeland where we all reside. |
