\"Tabakman<\/a>One of the most impressive works we saw over the weekend in Racine was at the second exhibition we visited. Laura Tabakman’s\u00a0<\/a>On the Trail<\/em>\u00a0was a large installation piece set up at the H.F. Johnson Gallery of Art at Carthage College<\/a>\u00a0as part of the exhibition,\u00a0A Re-Visioning: New Works in Polymer.<\/em><\/p>\n

The\u00a0installation is\u00a0a wonderful little field of these colorful\u00a0pods and balls standing on the tops of thin wire that swayed slightly as you passed and interspersed with bright handmade tassels, some in the pods, some fallen to the boards below them. It’s a bright, yet quiet and peaceful,\u00a0 piece that draws you in to look closer at all the variation in detail between the polymer\u00a0elements.<\/p>\n

Aside from being drawn in by\u00a0the\u00a0beauty of the piece, as polymer artists we gravitated to it as an unusual type of work that few of us have had experience in creating. There were\u00a0a lot of questions about the planning and building of it, as well as the\u00a0shipping and installing of the work. I guess Laura was queried enough to post the process on her Facebook page here<\/a>. You have to read and see what she did to her living room for the sake of her art! She is a dedicated lady!<\/p>\n
