Ties That Bind: Ed Rossbach and Katherine Westphal
Featuring husband and wife artists, Ed Rossbach and Katherine Westphal, Ties that Bind brings together several decades of their work from baskets to garments. Rossbach’s and Westphal’s unpredictable, vibrant and diverse creations have had a major impact on contemporary basket making and fiber art in general. Rossbach, a weaver, is interested in structure, and Westphal, a painter, in surface design. Shared themes in their work include a reverence for the past, pushing of boundaries and the influence of the many different cultures encountered through study and travel. Their careers as artists, professors, writers and lecturers have spanned the entire history of what is now called the contemporary fiber arts movement.
