Patti Warashina (softcover)

This monograph details the life, career, and artistic process of sculptor, Patti Warashina, winner of the 2020 Smithsonian Visionary Award.

“This Spokane native has sought refuge in craft, mining the offerings of both art history and traditional technique. Warashina has extracted influences from a wide variety of Asian ceramics, dipped into the tidy forms of sake sets, and raided the poses, approaches, and styling of numerous artists and cultural camps. Her inspirations range – in no particular order – from Roman sculpture to modern abstract painters. Yet the ironic bite and visual heft of Warashina’s work stem from the humerous overtones and bright colors that define the Funk Art movement.
