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