Caribe Cottage ll
Caribe Cottage ll of 3 in the series of mixed media art weavings. Caribe Cottage ll is slightly abstracted by clever use and placement of elements into my loom. Upcycled images are sliced, numbered, interlaced with my own hand dyed yarns and coordinating novelty yarns. I employ several weaving techniques to achieve the depth and fullness of texture, emulating profusion of colorsThe result is a lush, exhuberant expression of colorful homes in tropical environs.
Caribe Cottage l, Caribe Cottage ll, and Caribe Cottage lll are
listed individually and also shown here as a triptych in the last image. The
artworks are similar, related, yet the underlying imagery is unique to each one
making them slightly different in size. I wove them on a loom I created
specifically for this series so the spacing between threads is just so.
Otherwise the imagery would be completely obscured.
