Description
Trees and Sky, Trees & Sky with Shadow and Of the Sky are three test weavings using inkjet images printed on Japanese paper and woven together using a triaxial weave.This method uses three axes at 60 ̊ angles, unlike conventional weaving which uses two axes at right angles.
Statement
In these tapestries, I am examining the physical and conceptual links between paper and trees, text and textiles – where branches and texts intermingle and texts are spun and woven. Trees are a constant inspiration. My goal is to create weavings that draw comparisons between text and paper and tree branches and sky in ways that ask: are things coming together or falling apart?
