Guarded

13 x 13 inch

fibers woven, stitched, wrapped, and tied into place

materials: yarn, hand spun yarn, wool roving, fabric

This abstract, highly textured woven piece combines new, recycled, natural (wool, cotton) and synthetic materials into a visually complex composition. The fibers are wrapped, tied, crocheted, and stitched around the frame, making the exposed areas of the frame part of the finished piece. The process of working with fibers is an active meditation, creating a calm and peaceful image.
