Transcending Boundaries: Mixed Media Fiber Art by Boisali Biswas
Charles V. Park Library Baber Room: April 6 - May 13, 2010
Boisali Biswas’ art is an example of the beauty of cultural diversity
expressed in contemporary designs. As a native of Calcutta, India,
Boisali holds dear the art and culture of India, though she presently
has her studio in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Boisali’s use of woven
hand–painted wallpaper, cotton yarns, and various surface design
techniques melds traditional folk art influences including Indian,
Mexican and Aboriginal, with contemporary designs. Her primary
goal is to enhance the integration of Indian flavor into contemporary
fiber arts, intertwined with her Western inspirations.
Please join us for a gallery talk and reception for the artist on
Wednesday, April 14, 2010 beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the Baber Room.
Admission to the exhibit and event is free and open to the public.
For Library hours please visit www.lib.cmich.edu or call (989) 774-1100.
