It all started with two 4-by-4-by-4-foot boxes of wood wool — great piles of curly, hay-like wood shavings — marked "FREE" outside Miller Farms Garden Center. Artist Becky Evans saw the boxes and thought her friend and fellow artist Lori Goodman might want to use the material in her paper-making practice. Eventually, they transformed the material into PLAY, a color drenched, provocatively tactile, immersive installation in Goodman's Eureka barn. L.L. Kessner, North Coast Journal.
