After many years weaving with traditional fibers and being able to predict how they would respond, I gravitated toward the challenge of weaving with monofilament. Regardless of my
careful planning, I am never certain when I begin a project, where that journey will take me. I became interested in layering transparent monofilament, often using analogous colors. I would take the fabric when it was off the loom and manipulate it until it became aesthetically pleasing and 'felt good' to me.
The turbulence of the past couple of years changed my approach. I used to begin with no destination in mind. Now I want the finished piece to evoke an emotion clearly.
This shift took me by surprise. It emerged as I was working on “Uncontainable”. I wanted to express confusion and sadness, and I began with a chaotic mass of monochromatic neutrals – a far cry from the passion in the finished product!
My love of weaving and my reach for fine craftsmanship will always be a part of my work. But I’m shifting now. I can feel it. The journey is beginning again.
All ready to dye!
I get lost in the journey; ever searching for an interesting shape or shadow that sparks a feeling or a truth.
