gift cloth

 

Anni Albers tells us that textiles used to have two main uses.  Clothing and shelter.
This makes me re-think so much.

Cloth has played many roles in ritual, symbol, political and social power, and in our daily domestic lives.  Considering the story of the materials I choose to use in this wider aspect, I am given new ways to work with them on a conceptual level.

I want to make physical objects with materials that can be touched and felt that yield more thoughts and imaginings than one can possibly understand.
