Listen to Podcast at https://bit.ly/cmpodcast71
Rebecca Herman and Mark Shoffner have been artistic collaborators since 1999, creating sculptures and installations incorporating textiles, wood, bamboo, paper, and reclaimed materials. Their recent work draws on art and architecture from different cultures to create new interaction sites and refuge in contemporary society, and can be seen at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles @sjmqt as part of the Artists in Residence program until the end of the year.
We spoke with them about their artistic voice and some of their recent projects, including hats and masks made of fabrics dyed to reflect the Air Quality Index, and creating covers for a collection of political books found in Rebecca's grandfather's library using a process called ice dyeing.

Mary Corey March's Identity Tapestry in action
Mary Corey March's Identity Tapestry was a big hit at our opening reception. Guests were more than eager to contribute to the participatory installation.
As each ball of yarn works through the piece, more and more unique identities form together— a community creating its own portrait through all the ways they are different... and the same. #sjmqt
