As time passes the events of life have been recorded on calendars that tell where we have been. Maps and charts tell us where we are going. These ideas are combined in “Life Mapping,” an exhibition by Teresa Paschke in the Gallery in the Round at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on 1015 Hyland Ave.”I look at calendars as charts where we record our lives,” said Paschke, assistant professor of visual foundations in the College of Design. “I can look back and see what I was doing and see what I will be doing.”Paschke’s canvases that hang from the walls reflect time passing in works that resemble calendars and charts of the 15th century. The edges are frayed and unfinished, and the canvas attaches to the wall only from the top. The canvases seem alive when they flutter in the breeze. Paschke uses the natural process of rust to stain the fabric.”The rust suggests natural cycles or rhythms, physical and psychological, as a metaphor for the experience of time passing,” Paschke said.”Midrange” gives the appearance of a chart with three dimensional “mountains” aligning the ends. They are sewn with gold ribbon and in the middle are three coiled rust stains. In the yellow field there is a triangle of a lighter hue which resembles a range finder. Paschke said this piece was done when she lived in Kansas and was trying to figure out where she was going in life. It portrays the feeling of being in a flat land, and the three dimensional cone shapes are the mountains that align each coast. All the work contains many layers of print, dye and cloth. “From a distance you can see the richness, depth and meaning, which reflects Teresa,” Mary Stieglitz, chair of art and design, said. “Then, looking closer you can see another layer and dimension of important detail.””Mappa Mundy:82000” and “Mappa Mundy:92000” have a thin layer of transparent silk with print from a calendar that hangs over the top of a warm colored piece of canvas. “The ephemeral quality of the transparent layer reminds me of memory,” April Katz, ISU printmaking instructor, said. The canvas has been dyed vivid yellows, blues, greens and violets. These contain the most variety in hue of the other works which contain more muted earth tones. “I am making a conscious effort to add more color,” Paschke said. “The color is influenced by the quality of light from the places I have lived — moving from Kansas which had a more golden light [from the sun] to Ohio which was a more whiter light.”Each piece contains some embroidery work mostly done in gold. “[The embroidery] is much like handwriting,” Stieglitz said, “with small strokes like personal recording.” A piece entitled “Stratagem” consists of six pieces of canvas sewn and taped together and dyed a pale blue hue. Many of the pieces contain symbols aligned at the bottom.A green field with small embroidered X’s form a non specific calendar in “Dancing My Way Home.” On the right side there are a series of circles in red-orange that look much like a living cell. Behind the cells are curved lines that appear like chromosomes. These symbols appear along the bottom of other works like “Mappa Mundy:92000.”Paschke said that the wear and stains of the fabric “are like a worn path that says something about who you are and where you are going in life.”
