22 people crowded into the Museum's Collections Room to hear (and see) Joseph Zirker yesterday. Joe talked first about the sources of his inspirations, and read translations of several poems by Rumi. Then he told how he stumbled onto his method of producing cast acrylic monotypes (it all began with dried acrylic pigment in a clean used tofu container). Joe brought several monotypes with him, and demonstrated the careful peeling of image from the polyethylene plate. Since suitable polyethylene is not widely available, Joe will advise us regarding a Peninsula source (check here in a day or two).
