woven work
Over time, my weaving evolved away from figurative forms and traditional tapestry techniques to become abstract and non-objective interpretations that are more expressive and pure renderings of what I see, sense, and experience in the desert. I weave with many different fibers: cotton, bamboo, hand-spun cellulose yarns, hemp, silk, rayon, linen, paper, waxed linen, sea silk, fishing net, silk wrapped steel and others. The use of wool yarns in my work is becoming less common as I work through what I have on hand. I no longer buy wool yarns because I do not want to contribute to the extreme cruelty that is inherent in commercial wool production.
