This piece was made by Auriel King and Tina Drakulich. In thinking of Nevada, it is our fabric; our lives are woven in as we are both native Nevadans. Our desert life is awe-inspiring. The sunsets, the mountains, the wetlands, the playa; these comfort and inspire. We make paper because the environmental impact is minimal, and perhaps positive. The medium is simple, versatile, and expressive. Tina folds cranes of handmade paper as an outward expression of prayer. In this case, prayer is for Nevada Earth. Materials: wood, handmade rag paper, sharpies and mod podge.
This piece, “Area 51” is made by Auriel King and Luana Ritch (deceased, July 2, 2024). Luana, a Nevadan, was awe-inspiring as an artist, friend and community member. She was a creative, expressive, and inventive paper maker with vast experience in public health and military service. Auriel King is an imaginative young artist who loves Nevada treks, hikes and waters. It is with awe that these two artists formed this piece in a collaboration. Materials: Abaca, beads, wire, sharpie, ribbon.
