Information about my work

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Warp (lengthwise) and weft (crosswise) elements of my weavings are fabric strips: ½” for the warp and 1”-3” for the weft. Before being torn into 1/2” warp strips, I use the Japanese shibori technique of folding, scrunching, binding and/or clamping the fabric and dyeing it in consecutive dye baths. The weft is more intentionally planned using the ikat method of binding off specific color areas before the dyeing progression.

HANGING INFORMATION

Each textile has a sleeve along the top edge which holds a flat metal strip. Holes in the strip align with reinforced holes in the back of the textile. To hang, remove the metal strips and mount them at the desired height by pounding nails through the holes. Reinstall the strips in the textile’s sleeve, match metal and fabric holes and place on nails. Insert provided metal rods through the lower hems of the textile and adjust edges to hang straight.

CARE

Fiber reactive dyes, which chemically bond the pigment and cloth, are used. These dyes are more fade-resistant than other dyes, but, as with any textiles, direct light should be avoided. To clean, remove from the wall and shake out the dust, or vacuum with low suction.
