Weaving
For a little over a year now, I've been weaving. I took an awesome sculptural weaving class last Fall at Mass Art with Nathalie Miebach and I guess I drank the juice. This first stick piece was my final project for that class. I also made the two baskets at the end of the post last fall. The others followed and are in chronological order. This past weekend, I went to the Graduate Portfolio Review hosted by Parsons and chatted with a bunch of programs. It was a great excuse to take some time for photos last week, and now I get to share an update of my recent work. A little context for this body of work... I was collecting found wood last Fall for class and it felt as if I was looking at sticks for the first time. There's so much diversity in color, texture, shape. I started to see these sticks as potential for line, texture, and color of drawing. From this idea I took waxed linen, a really wonderful tacky material, to weave these...
