One of my favourite quotes:

No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.

Gram's Way Tapestry



 

My tapestry series started with this piece.

The process developed in an instinctual way using cross-stitch. I started with the choice/image of a basic shape or line. Then I would put my hand into the bag of embroidery thread and pull out a colour to make the shape/line. For the next step I threw the burlap or Aida cloth up and where ever the needle pierced the cloth is where I would start the shape. On the fabric with small openings I used two of the six embroidery thread strands. With the larger fabric openings I used the full six strands. I would only use the amount of thread of one arm span at a time, then move on to the next shape/colour. I would have seven shapes/colours going at a time. Thus there was a continued change in landscape with overlapping shapes and lines. At some point I would know that it is done.

Her Head

 

Woke up one morning and this is the vision that I saw and needed to paint. Who really knows where inspiration can come from.
