About the Item

"Medusa Tree" is a free-flowing sculpture of cane that suggests a figure either emerging from or descending into a tangle of twisting lines. Several parts are painted red or blue or stripped that gives a contrast to the black structure and a spark of energy shooting forth. This piece seems experimental from her more conservative pieces that can be easily identified as basketry, paper forms and shaped objects.
Danielle Bodine has worked in textiles for over 35 years. Her work has been exhibited in museums, galleries and art centers throughout the U.S. and is included in many private and corporate collections. Originally from Seattle, Danielle studied clothing design at the University of Washington, Art therapy at Bowling Green University and received a BFA from the University of Michigan in Weaving & Textile Design. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, most recently in "All Things Considered IV, VII and VIII," NBO Juried Shows and catalogs at Fullercraft Museum, 500 Baskets, Lark Books and Pulp Function. Nationally, Danielle has been an invited artist, teacher and lecturer in museums, colleges and arts organizations focusing on contemporary concepts, methods and materials in the realm of fibers. In her studio on Whidbey Island, she offers opportunities for artists and members of the community to explore the many applications of fiber for creative expression.
Weaving, quilting, needle arts, silk screening and basketry are areas of fiber she’s explored over the years.
Her current work is a culmination of reflections and experiences with techniques and concepts. When she first experimented with fiber, she worked in a two dimensional format and found that she wanted to manipulate the flat surfaces into 3-dimensional forms. The discovery of basketry techniques enabled her to construct forms without constrictions of size or shape.
Experimentation with paper began over 18 years ago after discovering a variety of exquisite kozo papers in a shop in Japan when she was intrigued by the transparency and strength of the papers. She began to use them for printmaking and then applied the printed papers to the surfaces of her basket forms.
Danielle loves to travel internationally and visit Ethnological Museums. Her work often reflects these experiences with other cultures. As for her philosophy: “The process of creating is centering and exciting. It is important to me in my own work and when I teach, to encourage experimentation of new techniques, forms materials and content.”

View AllEugene Caples "Bronze Sculpture II" Abstract Bronze Sculpture
By Eugene Caples
Located in Detroit, MI
This small exquisite "Bronze Sculpture II" is in excellent condition and a perfect example of Eugene Caples craftsmanship. This is mainly abstract with some graphic or architectural elements and is so delightful that mythical creatures demand to be considered. It cries out to be touched and held, looked at and caressed.

He attended the Kansas City Art Institute, earning his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Industrial Design in 1959. In 1963 he was accepted to Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Eugene Caples "Bronze Sculpture I" Abstract Bronze Sculpture
By Eugene Caples
Located in Detroit, MI
This small exquisite "Bronze Sculpture I" is in excellent condition and a perfect example of Eugene Caples craftsmanship. Although it is mainly abstract, there are bits that look figurative either an arm or a leg attempting to emerge from a fold or attempting to hold a pose such as in yoga. It cries out to be touched and held, looked at and caressed. The beautiful patina on the surface gives voice to the many hands that have done these things.
