Happy 80th Birthday to WSW’s beloved Robert “W Happy 80th Birthday to WSW’s beloved Robert “Woody” Woodruff! Woody’s been with WSW since 1977 and we’re thrilled to be celebrating this milestone birthday with him!

“The Woody Way is something we can all learn from. To just be here to help, with minimal expectation of reciprocity or gain, and to approach the solving of problems as creative practice and meditative joy. The Woody Way has been the driving engine behind WSW’s daily unfolding for decades, and in honoring Woody, we encourage ourselves to embody it.”

Visit our blog to revisit the article “On Robert “Woody” Woodruff, Zen, and the Art of Problem Solving” by Julia Hickey. Link in bio.

Mikayla Patton @mikaylapatton.art recently wrapped Mikayla Patton @mikaylapatton.art recently wrapped up her residency with WSW! While on-site, she worked in our papermaking studio making handmade paper using an abaca, cotton, and flax blend and embedding porcupine quills. Patton also constructed a box as her book form, using letterpress printing on the bookcloth for the front cover and for a printed fold out. She joined WSW through the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art @bimuseum.of.art Artist’s Book Residency Grant for Indigenous Artists.

Mikayla Patton (b. 1991, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice engages with paper, sculpture, quillwork, installation, beadwork, printing, plants, archival and found materials. Her work employs Lakota methodologies and adornment practices to explore themes of healing, growth, and renewal. Currently based in Pennsylvania, Patton will receive an MFA in Sculpture from Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College in ‘28 and holds a BFA in Studio Arts from the Institute of American Indian Arts.
