It is off the wall!

Faculty Associate and UW-Madison alumni Michael Velliquette’s exhibition at Edgewood College Art Gallery literally jumps off the wall. His cut paper assemblages are paired with text by Quan Barry.

Happy Surprise

(Photograph by Jim Escalante)I discovered the summer issue of the Friends of the Library magazine in the office. Not only does the cover showcase one of the submissions from the Paper in Motion portfolio from Hand Papermaking but it has an excellent article about the Artists’ Book Collection in the Kohler Art Library. You can see some “Behind the Scene” photos of the studio setup.

FotoJim.net posts added to blog

Photography related posts and information will be inserted to my teaching site. Keeping tabs on different web locations take up too much time which is better spent creating new content. Instead of trying to manage different sites, some of my photographic work will be integrated in this teaching site. Two photography links are located on the right Navigation sidebar, Photography archive and Flickr photo gallery. They will display current photographs.
