Oh hey! I'm so happy you've found my new blog! This isn't actually my first post, I got excited about the flash mob scene above (err, below) and I just had to post it. Anyways, I'm a tapestry weaver and fine artist who also dabbles in drawing and painting and whatever else suits my fancy. In this blog I'll share with you photos and updates about what I'm working on and also the inspiring and fascinating discoveries that keep me creating.
Currently I'm working on a piece to enter into a juried show called The Art is the Cloth. The premise of the exhibit is to show how tapestry weaving informs the process of making cloth. This can be depicted in several ways including historical, self-referential, process oriented, and indigenous, among a few others. Once I send in my application in a few weeks I'll share photos with you, but until then - and to keep you at the edge of your seat - I'll only let you know that I chose to work with indigenous influences. I'll admit trying to weave a decent sized tapestry in two months while working a full time job is not an easy task. I really want to knit myself a new hat, cook some food that's not oatmeal, and scrub the shower, but alas... the loom is beckoning, and I'm over halfway done.
