Her installations are mainly composed of glass, metal and/or paper. They have a light, airy feel to them which is why I feel that I am drawn to them. Some of her pieces are a scale that invites intimacy and close-up viewing, yet also large works she has work that is for public viewing.
The installation that catches my eye the most is Estuary: Moods and Modes. It was created in 2007 and it is 53x11x18 feet, handmade paper and wire.
The bright colors caught my eye as I scrolled down Joetta's blog page...how could they not?
I am most attracted to this because I can see similar characteristics to the piece I am currently trying to tackle. The piece is not literal, it shows a change in color and size, and dances up the wall as if it were growing. She also used paper that she made herself...similar to what I am trying to do with my yarn (taking the material and 'owning' it to make my own surface).
I am also intrigued by her drawings. They are on her handmade paper, and are paper pulp with embedded wire.That is it. Here's Her Website if you want to see more
