Sailor Song by Nancy Jewell

This children’s picture book makes a delight-

ful ‘goodnight’ story. A mother sings to her son

while awaiting his sea-faring father’s return.

Make up your own tune as you recite the lyrics

to your children and create special memories

for years to come!

This year, the film

MPL is proud to feature two new works by Southeast Idaho artist Kiana Spillman on

our back stairs! Kiana’s Swedish heritage informed the weavings; she designed their

patterns after studying the history of Scandinavian woven pieces. Inspired by botany,

people, and the creative process, she uses both traditional and innovative fibers,

dyes, and techniques for her installations. Heritage I & Heritage II were woven with

wool on a floor jack loom. Kiana used natural dyes including turmeric, avocado pit

pigments, rose petals — and Kool-Aid! — to achieve their color.
