Mary Edna Fraser has taken the art of batik to otherworldly
heights. An internationally renowned artist, Fraser has had works
grace galleries, museums, and public buildings throughout the
United States - creating wonder, awe, and an awareness of the
environment around us as few artists have had the talent and vision
to manage. Using fabric, wax, and dye, Fraser has transformed the
techniques of batik from its ancient origins and forged new
panoramas and vistas of our unique planet from the sky above us to
the ground beneath our feet, and even down to the evocative
landscapes that sprawl across the ocean floor. These images not
only astonish us with their allure; they also remind of us of our
place in the world and our responsibility to respect and care for
it. Part history and guide to the challenging techniques of this
form, The Batik Art of Edna Fraser affords not only a full-color
introduction to Fraser's stunning perceptions of the glaciers,
icebergs, coastlines, atmospheres, mountains, and rivers that grace
our globe, but gives us an intimate look at the artist at work and
the philosophies that guide her singular imagination as well. Bold,
beautiful, thoughtful, and always visceral, Fraser's art invites us
outside to see with new eyes the horizons that surround us - and
inside to see ourselves in our inextricable connection with the
land, the seas, the skies, the earth, as we are woven together as
one in the fabric of our existence on this, our home, the vibrant
blue planet hurtling through space and time.
