Recycled Paper relief and tapestry
When I started my artistic career, I looked to the most immediate and most abundant resource I had at my disposal, namely, junk mail. The prospect of reusing what was to become trash appealed to my concern for the environment. Moreover, the transformation of that which is worthless into something valuable resonated with my journey of reinventing my life. I now create tapestries, reliefs, and sculptures using office paper, magazines, newspapers, and phone books. I carefully sort through the material available to create a color palette. Then, I roll, coil, and weave to form different textures, shapes, and varying levels of relief. The result is a series of artworks that…

Photography by Brent Umphlett

introspective
Since 2000, the Summer of the Pandemic, Trevor Segraves’ paintings have become introspective and nostalgic with recurring themes of childhood and childhood dreams. At times they reference the disturbing absurdity of curret affairs. Images of his childhood toys, notebook origami, memories of pop culture and classic art come together to create a new narrative. Notebook origami is used to evoke schoolboy dreams of far off adventures and journeys, while the toy paintings, many depicting the death of Howdy Doody, represent the death of American innocence or a change in the collective knowledge of what America is.

20/20: Through the lens of an artist, mother, and art educator
The Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent shut-down resulted in my two daughters, ages 16 and 20, being confined with me at home attempting to navigate online learning, social distancing and protecting the older members of our close-knit family. At the time, I was a full-time student studying art education and almost enjoyed distance learning, but neither of my girls made the adjustment well. As time went on and I watched them become more and more depressed, unmotivated, and borderline hopeless, I not only became depressed myself, but angry because of the time and experiences that we all lost because of this virus. My studio became my space for healing and my…
