Contemporary Volumes Artist Talk
featuring Colette Fu with a Special Screening of PBS’ Craft in America East
This program is free with museum admission.
Join us at the Morris Museum for an early afternoon with Colette Fu — maker, storyteller, and master of pop-up paper sculpture. Experience a behind-the-scenes look at the artist’s practice: an artist talk in the Bickford Theatre, a premiere screening of her PBS’ Craft in America segment (before it airs on broadcast TV), and a live demonstration as she opens “Noodle Mountain” in the Main Gallery.
Colette Fu builds small, fiercely detailed paper universes that fold out into sweeping landscapes and intimate narratives. In conversation on the Bickford stage, she’ll trace the hybrid paths of craft and book arts in her work — from field research and photography to paper engineering and collaborative storytelling.
