Sarah Brayer, whose work is included in the exhibition Fibers of Becoming, will talk about her experience traveling to Japan in 1980, where she discovered washi (traditional Japanese paper) as an art medium. Brayer will discuss the many ways she incorporates washi into her work as a means of expression. As an artist, Brayer is interested in expressing inner light, which led her to create the Luminosity Series.

This event will be held in a wheelchair and rolling walker-accessible building. The lecture space is wheelchair accessible, with moveable seating.
