Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.My process starts at the conceptual level. I collect and gather mood and color imagery as a jumping-off point for ideas I want to explore. From there, I determine the end use of the fabric and design the woven structure based on the desired outcome. I consider the fiber I want to use to be always made of natural fibers, including cotton, linen, wool, and alpaca. I weave samples first, then move on to the actual piece and weave all of my work on an Öxabäck Lilla, an eight-shaft countermarch loom. |
