This event  is the 2nd in the 7 week series in conjunction with  the exhibit Venus:  Poets and Fiber Artists Reflect.

Patrick Eller calls himself  a collector of moments.

“I don’t know, I have never really known… there are people who will tell you that they know but I don’t know. I am an easily distracted witness.  I am an artist and these are my crops.  These are the crude soundtracks I leave deep in the caves of the past so that I may be reminded in the future of just what my story might be..”

His poetry is also on view in collaboration with Angela Haworth’s exquisite contemporary quilting… see  image above.

Sheila Packa grew up on the Iron Range, is the granddaughter of Finnish immigrants, and lives in Duluth. She has published poems, short stories, and essays in many literary magazines and anthologies. Most recently, her work has been featured in New Rivers Press book, To Sing Along the Way: Minnesota Women Poets from Pre-Territorial Days to the Present, edited by Joyce Sutphen, Thom Tammaro, and Connie Wanek. She’s received two Arrowhead Regional Arts Council fellowships for poetry, two Loft McKnight Awards and, this year, a career opportunity grant from ARAC.

This project inspired Sheila to put together a chapbook just for the exhibit, “Love’s Cloth.”  She hand colored the cover of her chapbook…it’s available as a limited edition

Event is free and open to the public.

Funded in part by grants from the Community Opportunity Fund of the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board.
