What, Why, How: Elizabeth Kerlikowske

What?

As a writer and teacher, I have always had a relationship with paper and structure. My current obsession is lampshades. I take them apart and rebuild them in more interesting ways. I had a friend who was experimenting with water on silk shades, and she inspired me. Later my daughter was having a bad day, and I knew the cure was making something. We put an old lampshade on a broomstick, and she squirted paint on while I spun it. The shade isn’t that great, but it did the job.
