Lake Effect?s material culture contributor, Gianofer Fields, introduced us to Madison-based metal artist Erika Koivunen and her mighty welder. Fields is a material culture student at UW-Madison, and she produces and curates the series, “It?s A Material World.” That project is funded by the Chipstone Foundation, a decorative arts foundation whose mission is preserving and interpreting their collection, as well as stimulating research and education in the decorative arts.
