During the first edition of Ghost Net Landscape, I invited over a dozen artists to lead their own projects in collaboration with my work as artist-in-residence in the Ghost Net Landscape at Elisabeth Jones Art Center in Portland, Oregon. Actors, musicians, video artists, set designers and costume designers came together to create performances for the Opening and Closing receptions. Throughout the exhibit, artists worked in the space on projects ranging from woven doormats to macrame wall hangings, sculptural basket forms, crowns and jewelry, all created from the pile of reclaimed fishing gear. I was present in the gallery creating machine-stitched baskets 3 days a week during May, plus additional special events.
