“I’m exploring new territory, but the new territory is ancient.”
After 60 years of making tapestries I feel that the designs which have evolved express a life of their own. Working within and against the limitations of the loom, these designs had begun to express power. I have tried to release the pattern from the surface of the weaving and create a fluid, gentle, shallow and spontaneous space. I want to release the image from the medium into the imagination of the viewer.
My artistic predisposition came genetically through the traditions of my great grandmother, grandmother, and mother all of whom were artists.
I am a contemporary artist exploring subconscious language. Painting and weaving are my media because they are culturally universal and ancient. My real love is to explore subconscious communication and patterns moving through space and time.
