In her Monches, Wisconsin studio, and later in Hawaii, Jean
Stamsta made wildly colorful and playful
paintings and fiber sculptures. She was a pioneer in the fiber renaissance
in the late 1970s and 1980s, creating tubular weaving techniques that
contributed to freeing textile from the loom. However, fiber was only
one of the many media she mastered. In the 1980s, Stamsta started using
handmade paper, paint, and fiberglass to create her mythical creatures inspired
by images on effigy mounds--more numerous in Wisconsin than anywhere else
in the United States. Aerial views high above Wisconsin were
facilitated by plane trips she enjoyed with her pilot son. Her imaginative
landscapes and still-lifes also include exotic tropical scenes complete
with erupting volcanoes and neon palm trees.
In 1974, Stamsta was awarded a National
Endowment for the Arts Craftsman Fellowship Grant. She went on to exhibit internationally
in Europe and her work can be found in prestigious American collections
such as the American Crafts Museum in New York, the Cleveland Museum of
Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Columbus, Ohio. In our current time of
uncertainty, Stamsta's ebullient works remind us that the world is a big
place in both space and time. Her bird's-eye views and evocations of those
who dwelt in Wisconsin long ago help restore poetry to the challenging
present.
