Victoria, BC Canada
I don’t expect every time I draw shells or leaves or objects that there will be a tapestry and then, suddenly, a drawing needs to be woven. When weaving to a theme, the challenge is to provide a visually interesting art piece while satisfying the idea. I do not get so wrapped up in the idea that the weaving is lost, as I work I constantly review the elements of line, colour, form, shade and light. Small format tapestry enables me to use my scraps of fibre elements as an active colour palette, and to use silk, boucle, cotton slub, and etc. when the design requires interesting texture or sheen.
