SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record The bright yellows, oranges and reds of autumn inspire Mary Ellen Hunter’s textile creations. Hunter has crocheted and knitted an array of fall-colored scarves, hats and Halloween-themed mandalas and table runners that she will show during Artique’s First Friday Artist Opening, which runs from 6-9 p.m. on Oct. 4 at 283 N. Main in Kamas. “This time of the year is very inspirational with all of the fall colors,” Hunter said. ““I really enjoy being inspired with what’s going on with the trees on the mountains. It’s such a beautiful time of year, and people should look around. We get so ensconced in our lives and we don’t look around to see the beauty.” One of Hunter’s goals is to modernize her “yarn art.” “Crochet and other handcrafts are very traditional, and since this craft has been around for a long, long time, some of the pieces have a tendency to look dated,” she said. “So I try to make things that look anything but traditional.” Hunter uses bright-colored yarn and intricate patterns to bring her pieces into the 21st century. “Whether it’s making a mandala out of crocheted skulls or adding skull patterns in the scarves, I just try to do something different,” she said. “I also like putting unexpected colors together that make an artistic statement when something is done.” COURTESY OF MARY ELLEN HUNTER Please see Artist, C-5 PARK CITY BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL CONCERTS Park City Beethoven Festival will present four concerts featuring renowned pianist Hsiang Tu.
