Portfolio – Colleen Wampole

Portfolio subcategories:

Fiber (ongoing)
weaving, knitting, spinning, dyeing, embroidery, piecework, sewing, crochet, and mending
Bookmaking and assorted papercrafts (ongoing)
art books with found art, an art book with which to research tea, blank books, popup cards, fanbinding
Drawing (ongoing)
scribbled in sketchbooks, digital, and for me generally an integral part of the creative process rather than the end result
Paper doll series: Toying with History (completed)
MFA thesis project in which meticulously painted watercolor shrinks and transforms famous depictions of women in art history as though they were paper doll clothes for a young person to use to construct identity or stories
Hinged altarpieces (hiatus)
Oil paintings in custom hinged frames depicting personal and postmodern visual inquiry into Biblical themes. Likely to resume after certain woodworking skills or tools are acquired
Still life and portraiture in oil paint (hiatus)
