Blue Waters. This piece was created for a group show "Living Water, Protecting the Great Lakes Legacy." When I started this woven structure I had no idea how it might go together. I tried several approaches. One of my favorite was strips of fabric just hanging side by side unwoven and long. When the air moved them it was fascinating to see the movement, but that was to simple. But when I started weaving the strips together it was like meditating and I knew what I needed to do. The plane woven structure gives the feeling of soft waves and only revels very little of my background fabric, representing the undeceived elements in our waters. I wanted the piece to present the importance of clean and clear water and an unpolluted environment for the quality of the food we bring to the table. But is the environment clean? The color blue represents water and the recycled tablecloths represent hospitality and plenty.
