ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Susan Brandeis' lush and complex textile construction By Hook or By Crook is part of a series that evoke layered structures seen in nature. These compositions reference imagery such as a forest floor, sediment in the ocean, microscopic plant tissue, and the landscape as seen from aerial photographs. This piece was created by sewing together and assembling screen printed fabrics and flexible materials.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with North Thurston Public Schools.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Textile artist Susan Brandeis creates elaborate fiber compositions that explore and celebrate "the elements of Nature which ultimately lead to ecological harmony: growth and decay, order and chaos, agitation and tranquility, the ordinary and the sublime."
