> STREET ART
A very sharp artist in NYC made me aware of a trend I had not been paying much attention to until this morning. I had some experience in the late 80s with graffiti art and artists in San Francisco, and with muralists in the Bay Area... but really can't say that I've seen or paid much heed to an aesthetic or movement that appears to be gaining some ground among the 20-40 year-old generation... At the following site that he turned me on to (as an example) I found links to more than 100 artists listed, 48 websites and 11 magazines on the topic of Street Art.

> BOONVILLE, MO. FIBRE ARTIST
In the August 2006 "Missouri Life" magazine I came across JO STEALEY's work, a combination of weaving and paper-making which truly becomes majestic when installation-scale... really fine craftsmanship at any size though. She is head of the Fibre Department at University of Missouri/Columbia.
