After blogging about Sheila Hicks my lovely friend Kristin Korven told me about Claire Zeisler. In 1962 Claire began making freestanding, three dimensional fiber sculptures. Her inspirations included pieces from her vast collection of Paul Klee, Joan Miro, Picasso & a variety of amazing ethnic objects.
