I weave tapestries at an old loom in my home in
Nashville. For me, the appeal is that tapestry combines weaving's stucture and
painting's imagery; the shapes, colors, and textures actually form the
cloth.
Today some weavers continue tapestry's history of
storytelling by using recognizable subject matter. But I design as an abstract
painter using the composition to hint at subjects rather than to describe them.
I want the tapestries to be sensed by the viewer, not necessarily
explained.
I have several 80" x 80" tapestries available along
with some of smaller dimensions. Contact me by phone or e-mail to see completed
works or to discuss custom projects. |
