14 x 12 inches
handwoven tapestry
$1,000
Artist Statement:
A couple of years ago I decided to take time to simply play with color. My goal was to think and work quickly, so I turned to watercolor paints. I looked to both the natural and constructed world for inspiration. As the sketches accumulated, some of them spoke to me in a way that I thought warranted the time of weaving them into a tapestry. One piece led to another and they soon became the CS series.
