Tacoma artist Holly A. Senn is a sculptor and installation artist. She “explores the life cycle of ideas–the organic process in which thoughts have a genesis and then are disseminated, forgotten or referenced.”  A part-time virtual  reference librarian by day, she uses discarded library books as her primary material to create paper-mâché objects like seed pods and trees.   This past weekend, Holly was one of 70 artists who opened their spaces to the public for Tacoma Art at Work studio tours.  Ruby Re-Usable and her husband, Alan Junkman, made the journey north to Tacoma, not only to visit Holly’s 2 car garage-cum-art studio (with a view of Commencement Bay!), but also to admire Ms. Senn’s Spaceworks installation on Broadway entitled Re-present (read Alec Clayton’s review of the installation in the Weekly Volcano HERE)  We even purchased a note card from Holly, with a quote by Isi Fiszman: “A conceptual collector is one who asks questions and does not just hoard.”  More Holly Senn HERE and HERE and HERE
