Jane Ingram Allen, a Fulbright Scholar artist in Taiwan in 2003-04 and 2005-05, announces that the Tainan Art Museum in Tainan, Taiwan, now has 34 of her handmade paper mixed media artworks in their permanent collection.  The works were created by Allen during her two years on the Fulbright grant working in 14 different communities all over Taiwan.  The Tainan Art Museum will keep the works in their archival storage and have them available for research and exhibitions.  Allen hopes that the Tainan Art Museum will have an exhibition of her “Made in Taiwan” works in 2027.  

These works are part of an ongoing series of map-based works that Allen calls “site maps.”  The “site maps” are a record of her experience of a particular place and time and are made entirely from materials collected in that place.  They are based on tourist maps, road maps, historical maps, geological maps and cultural resources that depict the particular characteristics of a place, as well as her personal experience of a place.  Each “site map” is made up of multiple sheets of natural plant fiber handmade paper Allen made from local plants and joined with natural fiber string so that the constructions will fold up like maps.  These are mixed-media works that use acrylic painting, drawing, collage and other techniques. They are two-sided and hang in space so that viewers can travel around them and look through them to get another view of that particular place.

New Class Added – My Kozo/Japanese Papermaking Class on March 22, 2025, is already full, so I am adding another class the following Saturday, March 29, for more people who are interested in learning Japanese hand papermaking techniques and using Kozo fibers.  The wonderful exhibition at the Sonoma Valley Museum, “Book Becoming Art” has generated lots of interest in Japanese papermaking!  

Celebrating Kozo – Exploring Japanese Papermaking 

Dates:  Saturday, March 29, 10 am to 4 pm

Class Fee:  $175 (includes materials and equipment)

Instructor:  Jane Ingram Allen

Location:  Jane’s home and studio, 5017 Maiden Lane, Santa Rosa, CA 95409 (in the Rincon Valley area on Santa Rosa’s Northeast side).

Jane’s Cell Phone:  857-234-2432 

Website:  https://janeingramallen.wordpress.com

Email:  info@janeingramallen.com

Description of the class:

Learn to make paper with Japanese Kozo (paper mulberry bark) and other plant fibers in the Japanese way to create unique handmade paper that can be super thin but still very strong and used for everything from clothing to sculpture.  This class will use some of the Kozo fiber I order from Mino City, Japan, where I was an artist in residence for 3 months in 1999 and returned in 2009.  Also, other locally-available Mulberry tree fibers and various plant fibers will be used in the Japanese way to create unique handmade paper.  We will use an authentic sugeta (wooden frame and bamboo woven screen) as well as Western molds & deckles (wooden frames and nylon screening) and formation aid from powdered polyethylene oxide and from okra juice. The class will cover preparing fiber, preparing the vat, adding formation aid, various ways of sheet forming and drying handmade papers as well as creative and unique ways to use the long fibers of the paper mulberry and other plants. Information about getting kozo fibers and a Japanese-style sugeta as well as growing and gathering your own fibers for Japanese papermaking will be shared in this workshop.  No experience required, but some papermaking experience will be helpful. 

To register for the class:  Send check or money order for the class fee by mail to Jane Ingram Allen, 5017 Maiden Lane, Santa Rosa, CA 95409, or pay the fee with a credit card using PayPal (www.paypal.com) and send money to info@janeingramallen.com   Class size is limited to five people!  Jane will contact you by email as soon as your money is received, and she will be in touch to send complete instructions for the class and handouts as we get closer to the date.

Jane Ingram Allen, “Pepperwood Leaves, 2022 installation

“Pepperwood Leaves – a Re-installation” is now on exhibition at Pepperwood Preserve, Santa Rosa, CA.

This work was originally created in Fall 2023 as part of my Creative Sonoma, Art Surround grant project.

Jane ingram Allen, “Legal Pad with Grocery List”, 1975

My work is added to the collection of the Crocker Museum of Art, Sacramento, CA. 

A curator from the Crocker Museum of Art in Sacramento, CA, recently visited my studio in Santa Rosa, CA, to see my work in person.  The curator was especially interested in my early feminist works in weaving and fiber arts from the 1970s when I lived in the South Bay and taught weaving and fiber arts at Foothill College and Canada College.  I also showed the Crocker Curator my later and current works in handmade paper that still make use of many fiber materials and techniques.  My work from 1975 “Legal Pad with Grocery List” is now part of the Crocker’s collection and will be featured in an upcoming exhibition at the Crocker about feminist works from the 1970s.  

“Jane Ingram Allen and Jami Taback, ”In Deep Water – Taiwan”, 2022-24

 “In Deep Water” with collaborator Jami Taback will be exhibited in NY State in Summer 2025.  Our “In Deep Water” installation artwork with handmade paper and printmaking will be exhibited at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance Gallery, Narrowsburg, NY, June 28 2025 to August 3, 2025.   I am hoping to travel to Hawley, PA, where Jami moved in March 2024, to visit her and help with the site installation in nearby Narrowsburg, NY, and also participate in some public programs for this exhibition.  We were honored to be selected by the DVAA for this important slot in their 2025 exhibition schedule, since this is a time when many visitors come to the beautiful area along the Delaware River for the community’s annual Riverfest.  For more information see the website at https://delawarevalleyartsalliance.org
