I love both of these artists and LOVE knowing that they knew one another and that our redwoods sheltered them both. Thank you, Iris, for beginning to weave the wires of their relationship into visibility. I've not been to the Exhibit yet, but when I go, I'll be walking with you, after that vivid description of the 12 galleries...

It's an incredible exhibition! How did she have six children and make that much detail oriented labor intensive art? I love her.

Right? She was a wonder. Just so committed to her art she always found a way.

Been meaning to respond to this! I am so glad you included Ruth Asawa. The exhibit was amazing, revealing the range of her artistic ability, some of which I didn't know about before. I also had no inkling of her connection to Wildenhain and Pond Farm. It is my intention to follow up and find out what the city of Santa Rosa intends to do about the fountain friezes. Thanks, Iris!
