Tapestry
The tapestries are architectural, built up row by row. The method of weaving, and even the equipment, has changed little from the times of ancient Egypt, Asia, and Pre-Columbian America. I weave in the style of the French Gobelin Manufactory, founded in 1662.
The imagery has changed, but the techniques for making marks in the fabric, the rhythm of the threads over one, under one, and the sound of the beater against the warp, has not. Weaving connects me to history.
