Wellfleet Preservation Hall

"Made With Water" will be on display at Preservation Hall through October 29th.

Sheryl Jaffe has been exhibiting her artwork throughout New York and New England for over 30 years. She works with organic materials, handmade paper from local and exotic plant fibers, and found objects to create 2 and 3 dimensional works that are reminiscent of the human body and the strength and frailty of skin. Her work includes installations, sculpture, artist books and once alive and continue to “breathe”: fibers absorb moisture from the air, the paper “remembers” the process it went through in becoming paper.

I see viewers as participants in the work, I’d like them to be inspired to question, to think differently about the familiar world around them. I am endlessly fascinated by how fibers connect and reconnect, intertwining in new ways, transforming the old into something new.

When not in her art studio, you can find Sheryl swimming in salt or freshwater or walking in the woods with friends.
