2015

These works are produced on a four-harness floor loom. Attention to surface and pattern are are important elements. Organic grids, like curvilinear labyrinths, impose structure upon the abstract. Texture and color are integral components. Materials include linen, silk, wool, rayon, cotton, beads, wire, and more. As artists we pick and choose, layer, collage, synthesize and weave it into a tapestry revealing interplay of pattern, surface and color.
