Type of work: weaving
I have chosen to express
my art in woven form. Through tapestry, painted and modified warp ikat,
and dyed loom controlled shibori, I am capable of making art for
the wall, floor, or to wear.
I find weaving an endless outlet for my creativity. It is a source of
study and investigation of this and other cultures. Study of Leno, open
weave techniques, led me to study weaving by the ancient Peruvians. Investigation
of ikat techniques used by Indonesians was a jumping off place
to "paint" silk warps for scarves. Most recent work has led
me to study Japanese folded and stitched cloth. All the techniques involved
in my quest for information influences the outcome of my daily work.
Subject matter and colors are a reflection of the natural surroundings
in which I live, work and travel. The soft subtle seasonal changes of
trees, reflections in water, and variety in the landscape influence my
color selections.
I have actively contributed to the Weavers' Guild of Boston as a teacher
and Guild President. I served as President of New England Weavers' Seminar,
a 4 day bi-annual conference for weavers held at Merrimack College.
By lecturing and teaching, I have taken a small roll in furthering the
education of weavers and hopefully have made people more aware of
weaving as an art form. Sharing the excitement and knowledge with others
is a satisfying part of the process.
Recently I have had numerous articles and work published in Handwoven
magazine. Interweave press has also photographed shawls for
their publications.
Commission work for Churches, Synagogues, and public spaces adds challenge
to my life that I particularly enjoy.
My current production line is sold through Cambridge Artist Co-operative,
an award winning craft gallery, Weavers' Guild of Boston, and numerous
New England Galleries.
