Under the Same Sky
Title: Under the Same Sky
Medium: Wool, cotton rope, and fiber on warp
Dimensions: 45 x 20 inches (30.5-inch wooden dowel)
Investment: $1,600
Woven over many hours, Under the Same Sky reflects the experience of creating alongside someone you love.
This piece began over Mother's Day weekend while my mom and I sat weaving together. She worked at a small rigid heddle loom while I wove on my standing frame loom. We spent the weekend listening to the same audiobook, each immersed in our own work while sharing the same space, the same story, and the same stretch of time.
Layers of blue and white wool drift across the surface, suggesting open sky and passing clouds. Long cotton rope fringe extends the composition beyond the woven structure, adding movement and softness.
There is something about weaving that invites a different kind of attention. Its slower rhythm creates space for presence. One strand follows another until hours become a finished piece, and the act of making becomes inseparable from the memories formed while creating it.
Under the Same Sky continues my exploration of weaving as an extension of my intuitive abstract practice, where material, memory, and lived experience become part of the work itself.
*This piece is almost impossible to mock up so it is shown in it’s full form photographed on my porch.
