ATMOSPHERIC FLOW
Handwoven tapestry
36″ x 41″ x 3″
I was thinking about the atmospheric river that climate scientists often speak of. Its roiling, turbulent actions and constant movement have dramatic effects on our earthly weather from season to season.
In fact when I researched it, its vapors are transparent and not a visible event, only discernible on computer models and NOAA maps. I wanted to express the turmoil and dynamic energy that these powerful vapors release. Because of the eccentric wefts, there is a lot of dimensionality in this one which only add to the movement of the piece.
