Seeking Possibilities shows my exploration of this technique during a time of transition in my life. While aesthetically this includes how color, line and texture interact with each other in a weave structure, the process is tedious in the physical making of it and presents innumerable opportunities for fine-tuning through design and problem solving — a process akin to working through the myriad of choices one encounters in life’s transitions.

Each woven painting is created by first making two acrylic paintings on paper, side-by-side, while considering how each visual element will interact with the corresponding imagery on the other when they are woven together. As the paintings are cut into strips for weaving, the minute lines and textures deep within the imagery present themselves clearly and beautifully on these narrow surfaces, and then again as they float in and out with the woven structure. This process led to further exploration of piecing together small textured surfaces, experimenting with color and texture combinations.
