Next PaperWorks Meeting
Thursday, Nov. 12, 10 AM to noon
St. Philips in the Hills Episcopal Church
4440 N. Campbell Avenue, Tucson
NE corner of Campbell and River roads
Program
Described as sculpture, fiber art and light painting, Joyce Crain's artwork defies categorization. She works with clients including designers and architects to conceive site-specific commissions that integrate with the architecture to sustain a lasting interest for those who will use the space. Employing a range of approaches and a variety of materials, she has created several series and draws from them to produce a unique solution for each project. Influenced by her environment, her work emphasizes interaction with light, movement, and changeability. Check out www.joycecrain.com
