Moments are Out, Even is Uneven

 


I have been making since the end part of Dec 2013 on a number of small weavings that would in a moment create an image in my mind. It then moved to the small looms and 4 selvedge method of weaving Tapestry. Colour seemed to answer itself almost with myself viewing these two colours sitting comfortably together in a box, one soft the other stiff and man-made. 


To make is always a mixture of excitement and wonder how an idea comes to life and develops into the expression of emotion, thought and soul of both the materials and my response to them thus giving myself the encouragement to make.




I then came to finish the weaving when I realised that each piece was not yet complete, the sense of a completed work was when they were on their backgrounds which gave the weavings a place to call home.




These works are being shown as my solo exhibition and I am pleased how they have come together as both a body of work and individual pieces.

The making is always happening. Ideas seem to be around all the time, it is what can I do or how or who is this piece being made for.
Yet the main part for me is I Make For It Is Part of ME.
