Shadow DarnerThe fabric art of Amy SilberkleitAfter graduating with a B.A. from StonyBrook University, Amy Silberkleit made puppets and scenery for The Rod And The Rose Puppet Theatre which performed in the New York area, including at the New York Renaissance Fair. The colors, textures and patterns of the vintage and contemporary fabrics used to clothe the papier mache rod puppets enhanced and defined their expressive character. The puppets were used by production companies and window dressers and bought by private collectors. In two and three dimensional panels, Amy continues to use fabric as a medium to express her intense passion for the natural world as well as to explore the relationship between interior and exterior space. Amy makes necklaces as well, using the same techniques employed in the larger panels.http://www.shadowdarner.com Kurt LongIllustrator/PainterKurt Long was born in 1957.
