Peggy McConnell Arts Center. Worthington, Ohio

Conceived around the theme of eco-psychology, this exhibition provides a reverential look at nature. The need to respect, protect, and reconnect with nature, as well as recognize the absolute inter-connectedness of all things is emphasized in Norman’s commitment to using natural elements, handmade paper, fiber, and other traditional methods to construct objects of veneration. Through woven forms, collaged materials, papermaking, and multi-media constructions, Norman aims to transform the gallery into a sacred space in an act of devotion, questioning pressing environmental issues our society continues to turn away from.
