Craft Power: Tusheti Rugs is a series of flax handmade paper laminated el wires, which illuminate when plugged in.  They are part of a research project with Paul Catanese called Handmade Media.  Through this project, we are exploring the intersection of hand crafted media with handmade paper.  I created these works inspired by the crafts symbol system in the Republic of Georgia, where it is understood some of the images may be derived from ancient Amazonian cults celebrating female power.  They were featured in the San Antonio city-wide exhibition, Luminaria.
