This is a comprehensive catalog of “From the Inside Out – Felt, Paper, Textiles: Revelations in Natural Mark Making” an international art exhibition two years in the making that opened August 2014 at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, featuring the work of Elizabeth Adams-Marks (USA), Irit Dulman (Israel), Fabienne Rey (The Netherlands), Rio Wrenn (USA), and Patricia Vivod (USA), five artists who share a devotion to ecological and sustainable ways of working.

Friends for over a decade and 8 mile neighbors in Madison County, Illinois, Adams-Marks and Vivod, curated the show and created the catalog. Both are alumnae of SIUE, both art teachers (Vivod formerly) who actively exhibit and have work in public and private collections. They were thrilled to curate and participate in From the Inside out.
