Statement: Gale Statz works in yarns in a palette of natural colors that bring to mind the stormy skies and waters of summer, the rich green hills of summer, the ripe grasses and turning leaves of autumn, and the Wisconsin hills' layered browns after harvest. Bringing warmth to the wearer in a way that is unique to each garment and unique to each person who wears that garment, Statz's art is purely one-of-a-kind. Media: Crocheting with wool and acrylic yarns. The Product: This crocheted shawl of original design has a short 'side' and a long 'side'. If the long side is worn to the front, it takes on the appearance of a classic shawl, without the trouble of holding it on, since the center is joined. If the short side is worn in front, the back hangs like a cape. With the long and short at the sides, the appearance is refreshingly asymmetric and unlike any other garment, and therefore, defies accurate naming!
Pricing and Ordering information: Wool shawls start at $280 and acrylic shawls start at $120. Coordinating scarves are $30. Call the Mineral Point gallery or (608) 935-0220. |
