SUMMARY:CANCELED: Creative Mapping - 970West Studio Artist in Residence
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTonight's Creative Mapping event has been canceled\, we 
 will reschedule the event for a later date.\n\nCreative Mapping:\n\nChart 
 unknown territory using watercolor paint and waterproof ink to create maps 
 that connect to place\, recollections\, and desires. Supplies included and 
 registration is required.\n\nOpen Studio Hours:\n\nMeet the artist during 
 her open studio hours every Tuesday from 2 - 4 p.m.\, at the 970West 
 Studio!\n\nArtist Statement:\n\n"My inquiries revolve around the 
 exploration of place\, expressed with mark-making through printmaking 
 techniques\, painting\, and stitching. My work is influenced by living in 
 the Greater West in the era of the Anthropocene\, bearing witness to our 
 fraught relationships with wilderness and wildness. Through wrapping\, 
 collecting\, and mapping I attempt to create tangible connections with 
 place\, embracing the perceived futility of harnessing the intangible\, 
 allowing the absurd to take a role in my work. I am curious about the 
 overlap of systems\, points of friction\, adaptation\, and cooperation\, 
 and seek the poetic conversations that can be found there. My practice 
 leverages process and alchemy to imbue the work with the complexity I 
 encounter. The resulting artifacts - which have been painted\, stitched\, 
 folded\, buried\, neglected\, rusted\, and/or dyed - may be seen as maps\, 
 journals\, quilts\, or objects of contemplation\; image and object become 
 intertwined."\n\nArtist Biography:\n\nResearch and process are the roots of 
 Julia March Crocetto's artistic practice. After studying architecture\, she 
 became more interested in the possibilities of fibers\, painting\, and 
 sculpture. Topography\, Wilderness\, and other influences of the Greater 
 West have become infused in her work\, developed over many years of living 
 and working in national parks and across the West. Using the language of 
 traditional quiltmaking and contemporary resources such as LandSat 
 imagery\, she investigates water and land use and her own recollections of 
 the West.\n\nHer first solo exhibition was in 1993. In 2004\, she was 
 invited to participate in the Holland/Alaska Cultural Exchange in the 
 Netherlands. Since 1985\, she has taught workshops in Kansas\, Alaska\, 
 Arizona\, and Colorado. She currently teaches art at Colorado Mesa 
 University. Crocetto received her BFA from the University of New Mexico\, 
 summa cum laude\, and her MFA from the Oregon College of Art and Craft.
