I love how John brings in a sculptural and architectural element to the medium, which are things you don’t really think of when you hear the word fiber arts. So I know there will be nice conversations that will take place when people see his Continued from C-1 Students tell their stories The student’s works will be on display through July 7, and Stoaks is just as amazed at the young artists’ works as she has been in the past. “We have work from kindergartners to high school seniors that range from sculpture, paintings and textile art,” she said. “We have just under 200 pieces, because there are collaborative installations that was created by more than one student.” This year’s theme was “storytelling,” according to Stoaks. “Teachers led their students in projects that spanned a wide variety of how they have interpreted the theme,” she said. “It was fun to see that come together in the gallery.” Each teacher decided their students’ mediums. “(The Kimball Art Center) talks with the teachers about the theme at the beginning of the school year, so they can see what fits best and start to build works.” Hess, recovering from injury, answered questions emailed by the Park Record over the weekend. Park Record: What was your attraction to textile art as opposed to painting or sculpting? Was it the texture of the material, folding the material or working with the loom? John Hess’ ‘Permutations’ When: Through Aug. 18 Where: Kimball Art Center, 1401 Kearns Blvd. Cost: Free, but donations are accepted Phone: 435-649-8882 Web: kimballartcenter.org John Hess: All three. P.R.: What sparks your creative juices in regards to what you want to create? Often woven patterns suggested while weaving open up new possibilities...” John Hess Textile and fiber artist J.H.: Something I see, especially patterns in nature, geometric dimension as expressed in folded paper. Often woven patterns suggested while weaving open up new possibilities. P.R.: Does the piece you finish closely match what envisioned? J.H.: Sometimes. When I finish a piece I can see other possibilities that could have worked better, like placement or scale, but I decide what pattern/shape/ color would work best and stay with it. that into their curriculums,” Stoaks said. The challenge for Stoaks is to figure out how to show these works. “I have no idea of what the students are making until two weeks before we open the show,” she said. “So I use that time to basically lay everything out in front of me and start with a few key pieces.” The key pieces are ones Stoaks feels would look good on different walls of the Kimball Art Center’s main gallery. “After I decided on those, I go from there,” she said. “It’s a puzzle that evolves over that installation period. And it’s one of my favorite things I do every year.” Stoaks is always surprised at the students’ creativity. “It’s inspiring to see how imaginative these kids are,” she said. “And I know that’s in part of the amazing art teachers we have in the community who inspire these great projects.” Stoaks also enjoys seeing the students’ expressions when they look at their works exhibited in a professional setting. “They get really excited, and you can see how proud they are of the work they have done,” she said. P.R.: What is the biggest recurring artistic challenge you face in being a textile artist? J.H.: Finding the time and endurance to start a new project and eventually moving through the preliminaries like measuring yardage, rolling on warp and threading the heddles before you are finally free to explore your creative potentials. P.R. What are the personal and artistic rewards of going through the challenges? J.H.: The ultimate reward is to see the finished art and how it has taken shape. The biggest challenge is hoping that all your work you have put into this piece will connect favorably with the public. P.R.: What has been the biggest work you have done, and what were the circumstances that surrounded it? J.H.: A public art commission for College of Eastern Utah, Utah State University.

Visitors can also decide next year’s theme. “We have six different ideas for next year’s theme, so I am inviting the community members to choose the ones they like best,” she said. The Wasatch Back Student Art Show helps the Kimball Art Center fulfill its mission, which is to inspire creativity in the community, Stoaks said. “We want to reach all ages from the youngest to the oldest,” she explained. “This is what we do, and this is why we’re here.” It’s the Place the Locals Choose Open Tuesdays through Sundays THURSDAY NIGHTS Locals Specials FRIDAY NIGHTS Fresh Oysters from the west coast European & American Cuisine Full Service Bar with Bar Menu Opens at 4pm.
