My weaving is often inspired by something I have seen or experienced in nature. However, there are times when I elect to more deeply examine an aspect from a previous project and/or experiment with a weaving technique. My Sand and Sea series is an example of the latter.
After creating a number of utilitarian rag rugs, Shoreline was one of my first artistic weavings. I wove it with 1 ½-inch fabric strips cut on the grain and used a clasped weft technique.
Inspiration Photo
For my Sand and Sea series, I studied the same frothy boundary between the land and water using thinner, bias cut fabric strips which compress better and nearly hide the warp threads. Rather than the organic, non-linear boundaries used in Sand and Sea 1, Sand and Sea 2 features symmetrical, curved boundaries and a bolder example of hatching.
