My work begins in drawing from observation. In the prolonged, quiet process of translating what I see into lines, I gain knowledge of the plant forms that I draw. From their physical characteristics and my experience of them, I develop a list of adjective qualities that I then translate into working methods and materials. For example, I drew tiny, looping curves as my eyes followed the contour of a zinnia’s piled petals—quiet, delicate, patterned, compiled. Later, I connected layers of tissue thin papers with a looping embroidery stitch—quiet, delicate, patterned, compiled. Carlyle was recently awarded a Visual Arts Fellowship from the Mississippi Arts Commission. Her work has been exhibited at Southside Gallery in Oxford, the University of Mississippi Museum in Oxford, the Lauren Rogers Museum in Laurel, the School of Art Gallery at Louisiana State University, and the Meridian Museum of Art. Zinnias, Wolfe’s installation of papercuts, received an Award of Merit at the Mississippi Art Faculty Juried Exhibition in 2005.
