“This silhouette portrait collection represents some of Wyoming’s non-native and invasive species. I have expanded upon the traditional cut-paper silhouette portrait with contemporary elements such as subtle cut-out features. The historic silhouette style originates from the Victorian period and is also known as Shadow Portraits. These species are considered to be casting a shadow upon their non-native Wyoming environment while trying to meet their survival needs. Among this collection, what was explored was the type of species as well as the scale of the complex narrative between their transition of habitats.” Carrie Edinger

This exhibit is curated by artist and leather worker James F. Jackson who is a National Endowment for the Arts 2019 National Heritage Fellowship recipient, 2019 Wyoming Governor’s Arts Award recipient and The Brinton Museum’s resident leatherworker. Included by invitation are 10 “best in their field” leather artists from North America and 15 “best in their field” contemporary leather artists from Japan with one Japan artist residing in California. A color-illustrated catalog - printed in both English and Japanese - with an article by Jim Jackson and biographical information on each participating artist accompanies this show. Master Leather Carving from North America and Japan –Design and Cultural Influences looks at traditional carving and the cross-cultural influences of Sheridan-style carving on Japanese leather artisans along with a wide diversity of Japanese contemporary work. This exhibition is scheduled to open during the time of the annual Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show in Sheridan.
