Writing Description:
WEAVING A CHRONICLE is a visual and written catalog by a working tapestry weaver. Tapestries pictured are accompanied by adjacent text describing the reason for each work’s creation. Stories of each of the tapestries revisit commissions and exhibitions. Each tapestry represents a seminal idea in one of several series and contributes to the chronicle of how ideas are conceived and executed adding to American history of art, and to the definition of contemporary tapestry. It will be appreciated by all who value a chronicle of visual ideas that contemplates the interplay of design, techniques and materials with life’s experiences.
