In the art exhibit Living Paper: Touch and Textual Afterlife, six pieces of Crystal Cawley’s original paper sculptures draw together texts and textiles, honoring traditions of handiwork while giving renewed poetic life to discarded objects.

This exhibit includes Cawley’s limited edition artist’s book of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper,” as well as pieces from two of Cawley’s artwork series, invite a sustained reflection on the delicate transformation of textures and the affective layers of paper materials.

This exhibit is open to the public at the Farmington Public Library during normal hours (Tuesdays through Fridays: 10am-5pm; Saturdays: 10am-2pm).
