Two-Person Exhibit
Mounted At Sybaris

The Sybaris Gallery will
present the fiber-art work of
Ed Rossbach and Katherine
Westphal through Nov. 28.
Mr. Rossbach and Ms.
Westphal, who are husband
and wife, met at the Univer-
sity of Washington at Seattle,
where they taught during the
late 1940s.
Ed Rossbach has led the
way in exploration of textile
structures, new materials and
imagery, basketry as ex-
pressive form, and along with
Ms. Westphal, photo processes
in textile art. He took fiber off
the wall and made objects
before object-making became
a popular trend.
Captivated by the materials
and techniques of other
societies, especially prehis-
toric Peru and contemporary
Africa, Mr. Rossbach recom-
bined Western techniques
with ideas he gleaned from
researching ethnic textiles.
He turned increasingly to
the three-dimensional possi-
bilities of netting, knotting
and interlacing and in the
late '60s began experimen-
ting with his now famous
non-conformist baskets. Mr.
Rossbach made them from
newspapers, cereal boxes, syn-
thetic raffia, corn husks,
strips of plastic — anything
that was contemporary, raf-
fish, unexpected and
disposable.
As for surface, Mr. Rossbach
has silkscreened his baskets
and has used photocopying to
lay on patterns. The baskets
are often pieced, stapled or
scotch-taped together with no
attempt to hide the joinings.
Katherine Westphal's work
fits emphatically within the
decorative tradition. Her
baskets of manmade
materials, gourds covered
with heat transfer images,
collages of fantastic visions,
artist books, wearable art,
pieced quilts and printed and
dyed fabrics all attest to her
mastery of composition, pat-
tern and the unexpected.
She prefers images selected
from photographs she herself
has taken — many are pic-
tures of her travels to places
like Egypt, Vienna, In-
donesia, Japan and the Na-
tional Parks and museums of
the U.S. Once she selects a
photograph, she submits it to
a process of transformation. It
may be distorted or enlarged
on the copying machine; then
it is transferred to cloth that
may already have been col-
ored and printed or stamped

with a secondary pattern. The
cloth in turn may be torn or
cut, then reassembled with
stitching, a process which
again distorts and fragments
the original image. Change
and transformation are the
underlying issues in Ms.
Westphal's work.
Ms. Westphal's recent
works are garments for the
wall which are based on
Native American shirts of
painted buckskin that were
made for participants in the
Ghost Dance, an ill-fated
religious movement that end-
ed in 1890. The ceremonial
cloths, as she calls them, are
made of birch-bark and
decorated with colored
photographs juxtaposing con-
temporary and traditional
images.
