Tennessee Tech University, 2003. This printstallation was a series of adjustable still-lifes in banal settings. The fabric portions of each vignette are actually prints, whereas the backgrounds and objects are primarily paintings. Viewers could alter the object in the scenes to create new ones. Such transactions point out how we as individuals deal with the glut of stuff in our everyday worlds and how placing it can reveal our inner mandates.https://erintapleyfiberandmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/picture40-2.jpgPicture40"Water Currency." Muskegon Community College. Fall 2004. This installation was based on a Fulbright Program sponsored trip to Brazil in 2003, which investigated the theme of water and human use of water. The installation reflects water as it defines multifarious human existences in Brazil which have many worldly parallels. Almost completely formed of printed materials, this installation used every allotted inch of space to tell the story of wealth and water by featuring a colograph sky of miserichord images (originally carved by slaves), feathered art of Amazon dwellers (done with woodcuts), waterfalls done with relief printing featuring the words propio/impropio (as these designate swimmable or not swimmable beach water), and many other additives that made this a highly detailed paper-made deluge of issues.https://erintapleyfiberandmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/picture20-3.jpgPicture20"Wake Up Call." 8 x 150 ft. Drewelowe Gallery, University of Iowa, 1997. This printstallation was designed as a narrative mural. It was formed with 75 8 x 2 ft woodcuts on dyed paper. The theme was the natural turning of the earth into spring. Caged crickets provided additional atmosphere for this exhibition.https://erintapleyfiberandmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/picture59-2.jpgPicture59"Knots." Dayton, OH, Sinclair Community College. Spring 2005. Knots is a prinstallation based on serigraphed designs of unraveling thread as well as polymer threads pinned to a mural of knots and printed embroidery fabric. The nexus of the installation is a harp of needles on which mantra of uselessness decorate the thread, mimicking the internal dialogue of the sewers’ mind washing.https://erintapleyfiberandmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/picture44-2.jpgPicture44"Wordsmithing." Priebe Gallery, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh 2005. 25 21x 15 in monotype prints with alphabet-based uncials and obscure words. Wordsmithing refers to an activity I would hear about frequently while serving on an academic committee. Like many ornate words I found myself distanced from their meaning because I have never been an avid reader. Nonetheless, the irony of this neologism is that it refers to smoothing over awkward and often bluntly direct phrasing. The many meters of stencils used to make these prints spilled from gesturing chattering as would a ceaseless waterfall.https://erintapleyfiberandmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/picture39-2.jpgPicture39"Thinking Inside the Box." Printed paper installation at Cape Girardeau Art Center. Sept. 2004. Thirty boxes which popped up when opened from a codex book form could be stuffed with answers from viewers regarding the question, “What does it mean to think inside the box?” A teaching excursion to China compelled me to consider the buzz phrase “thinking outside the box” and its ramifications for societal values and corresponding teaching styles. All parts of this exhibit were printed from free-form yet prescribed Kanji characters on the wall to different silk-screened versions of the 64 I-Ching characters on the wall. Although an installation of many layers of meaning, the basic juxtaposition was imitation versus innovation whether in handwriting, meaning-filled shapes, or philosophies represented by these shapes.https://erintapleyfiberandmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/picture57-2.jpgPicture57"Knots." Dayton, OH, Sinclair Community College. Spring 2005. Knots is a prinstallation based on serigraphed designs of unraveling thread as well as polymer threads pinned to a mural of knots and printed embroidery fabric. The nexus of the installation is a harp of needles on which mantra of uselessness decorate the thread, mimicking the internal dialogue of the sewers’ mind washing.https://erintapleyfiberandmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/picture22-3.jpgPicture22"Schooled." University of Iowa Gallery, 1998. This prinstallation was made with monotype process atop woodcut-based paper. It was installed on a floor space of approximately 20 x 38 ft. The walls were also decorated with potato and sponge stamped paper to resemble sand embankment. The concept was the habitual use and overuse of water by humans such that it becomes unthinkable (as in the movement of a school of fish).https://erintapleyfiberandmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/picture60-1.jpgPicture60"Knots."
