Wall Art
Double-weave Pick-up Double-Trees
In doubleweave, two layers of fabric are woven simultaneously on the loom—sometimes separate, sometimes joined, and sometimes exchanging places. On the reverse side of this textile, the trees are terracotta colored and the background is pale green.
In doubleweave pick-up, each pick is worked thread by thread, lifting individual warp ends to create a design within the two layers of cloth. This slow, deliberate process allows complex motifs to be created organically at the loom.
This won the “Peoples Choice Award” during its exhibition of the Duneland Weavers Guild.
Rep Weave
In rep weave, closely spaced warp threads cover the weft, producing a firm, ribbed texture and crisp patterning. The design emerges through alternating thick and thin wefts, giving the fabric a distinctive rhythm and depth. The design is both graphic and tactile.
This six foot long wall hanging is divided into five distinct sections. Woven in six colors, different designs are produced by varying the treadling.
