Did You Know?

The beads used in this collage were purchased by the artist from a market in Santa Maria Atzompa, a small village outside Oaxaca City, which is in the middle of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Description

The artist’s love of textile techniques and materials—including lacemaking—are evident in these small-scale, intimate explorations of the local materials available to Ward during her annual trips to Oaxaca, Mexico.
