—WEAVING —
Prayer & Purpose
Summer Sunrise
Botanically dyed raw silk warp with cotton weft.
Woven into the shimmering colors of the rising dawn.
Lavender Protection Cloak
Hand-dyed Navajo Churro wool with
cotton warp, hand-stitched into a ruana.
Following the tradition of my maternal grandmother, and many grandmothers over the world, the study and practice of weaving continues to bring me home.
When I weave, I often feel many grandmothers around me, and the gift of my own grandmother’s skilled hands coming through my own.
With specific purpose and prayer I weave medicine shawls, ruanas, prayer rugs, altar cloths, tea mats. Knowing the story of my materials is of utmost importance: I work with local yarn and make my own plant dyes whenever possible.
Weaving is my favorite sense of time — where I fall into a timeless, quiet, mystical, mythological and sacred work, that spans generations and reaches into nearly every culture of the world.
Woven Bloodlines
Deep tones of hand-dyed red cotton thread, warp and weft.
Winter Moon
Soft Corriedale wool woven from one single black ram, who once roamed the lush lands of the Point Reyes Peninsula.
