This is an article featuring my inspiring fiber sculpture teacher. In this article, it talks about her using backstrapping techniques to make a weaving. She decides to take this technique out to Beverly Hills as a way to show that there should be no boundaries to making art. She pays for a parking meter, and sets her station up in a parking spot. Policemen come and try to write her a ticket, and she says she didn't do anything wrong because she paid for the spot. So here, you see how Tanya pushes boundaries and makes the audience look at craft in more than a let's-go-to-Michael's-to-buy-pom-poms-kind-of-way. Performance art is seen here.
