We do a bit of traveling every now and then. Often I come home with botanicals from far away places.
This botanical weaving has plant materials from right outside our front door, from nearby trails where we hike, from a kiwi farm in Canada, and from a small town in southern India.
I started weaving it just after we returned home from India, where I spent the “time out” that I wrote of in my previous post.
Time off gave me time to rest, to regroup, to think about what I do, and how and why I do it. Time to reflect on my life. Precious time....
As I was weaving this piece, I was remembering the warm people we met on our trip, the warm people in our life here at home, the lush, beautiful landscape we were immersed in there, and the diverse beautiful landscape here.
Weaving has always been a metaphor for me, of the connectedness of the myriad elements that combine to make our life what it is. People, places, all that brings meaning and worth to my life.
This weaving is no exception. It has contrast, harmony, diversity, and
overarching sense of unity.
“From Near and Far” will be on display at the Borrego Art Institute “Earth’s Elements” Show from February 1-23. 23”Wx28”L. $315
