Project Description
Each Fiberforum member went to the Bass Pro store in northwest Ohio. We wandered the aisles, examining fishing tackle, camping supplies and fudge, all the while listening to our fellow shoppers. We used overheard phrases, or even a word or two, of snatched conversation as inspiration for the art we produced for this project. The overheard phrases are the titles of the art. (Completed in 2012.)
