Flow 7: Seafoam
Flow 7: Seafoam is a handwoven tapestry.
48 x 34″ wide
Living near the Pacific Ocean, I am always appreciative of the opportunities to go to the beach and enjoy the incredible vastness of it all. Seafoam reflects a common encounter with the foam that comes in with an active ocean. It is always changing and responds to the currents and winds of the day. The long slits and eccentric weft add to the surface movement of the tapestry and reflect the everchanging ocean. It is the resilience that we need to enjoy life in its entirety. The boucle wool I found in my stash inspired this visual and artistic endeavor.
Flow 6: Veriditas
Flow 6: Veriditas is a handwoven tapestry.
55″ x 35″ x 2″ deep
Tapestry is traditionally a two dimensional medium, but I am interested in playing with surfaces within the parameters of the grid format. The construction of a tapestry is what really intrigues me. By using an eccentric weft, I have found it to be an effective way to convey the movements of nature. In Flow 6, part of an ongoing series, I have created a dynamic, organic surface which reflects the ever-changing vitality of nature.

Terra: Wheat and Grass
In “Terra” I have created a dynamic surface with a series of slits and sections that use an extreme eccentric weft that pushes the normally tightly controlled tension in a tapestry to a new fluid, dynamic surface. The two parts of Terra reflect the way the fields of grain move in the breeze over gentle hills.
Call of theBlue Hills
Call of the Blue Hills is a handwoven tapestry.
55″ x 44″ wide
I have always been attracted to watercolor because of the way that pigment moves across the wet paper and saturates some parts and not the other. In this piece I am trying to capture the same subtle, fluid movements with the tonal shifts of color within the shapes.
I frequently walk the Headlands to enjoy the ocean views as well as the many unique geologic and biotic features of the area.
In this tapestry I wanted to consider the hills from which I draw great inspiration. By using a watercolor interpretation, I am able to reflect the way that water, in its elusive forms of ocean, fog, rain, and (hopefully flowing) creeks, is necessary to support the unique features that is so much a part of this region.
