TEXTILES ABOUT TEXTILES is a show of felt tapestries inspired by the textiles of Mexico, Guatemala and Peru. They are abstract paintings in wool felt. They are meant to celebrate my fascination with the ethnic textile traditions that have inspired me since I began working in fiber decades ago.

The work in this show reinterprets the language of motif, color, rhythm and repetition characteristic of the huipil, a garment once worn by Meso-American people.

These tapestries are made by hand in the ancient manner of wet felting. The process of wet felting creates a thick, non-woven fabric made from wool fleece.
