CAROL WESTFALL USA / ASV Born 1938 208-17 West Shearwater Court Jersey City, New Jersey 07305, USA Education 1972 MFA – Maryland Institute, College of Art, Baltimore, Maryland, USA Selected exhibitions 2006 From Lausanne to Beijing – 4 th International Fibre art Biennial, China 2005 New Jersey Annual – Jersey City Museum, New Jersey, USA Miniartextile Como and Sardinia, Italy New Collected Works, Racine Art Museum, Wisconsin, USA 2002 One Woman: Ben Shahn Galleries, William Paterson, USA University, Wayne, New Jersey, USA ”Technology as Catalyst”, Textile Museum, Washington, D.C., USA Awards 2001 Northeast Print Award, Ben Shahn Galleries, William Paterson University Wayne, New Jersey, USA Works in collections Racine Museum of Art, Wisconsin, USA Zimmerli Museum, New Jersey, USA Rockefeller University, New York, New York, USA Angers Museum, France I live on a man-made island directly behind Ellis Island on the tip of New York Harbor. For several years, I have been investigating those groups of peoples from many lands who came to America with a dream of bettering their future and that of their children. Many times, these groups would bring treasured family textiles which were light and portable and very much served as a remembrance of the home left behind. Thus far, I have completed a series of images in many different textile techniques on mostly European immigrants – the Italians, the Germans, the Irish. Now I work on the Arabs and the Jews. This work, ”Shoah”, commemorates the holocaust. Sometimes known as “the people of the Book”, the Jews came to America from many different lands. I have completed a large series of blank faced books in silk, in wool and in paper yarns. The ”Shoah” weaving completes the series of works on this group. Each of the groups are represented by a generic family photograph which I print digitally in large format. At Ellis Island I found a turn of the century photo of a group of eight Jewish children – survivors of a pogrom somewhere in Eastern Europe – arriving at Ellis Island. The Irish are represented by a large family grouping as are the Italians. The Germans are a farm couple standing proudly in front of their farm house and is somewhat reminiscent of a Grant Woods image. 132
