Mountain 1 & 2

The source imagery for these works was drawn from a series of mono prints created using small stones. In Mountain 1, the impression of a single stone is enlarged to fill two panels of woven cloth. In Mountain 2, the same stone is repeated partially and then interrupted. The mediated image of a single stone in these pieces acts as a kind of distilled index for the land itself, providing an object for contemplation of the natural landscape and one's place in it.

Mountain 1 & 2 are hand woven on a Jacquard loom in 2019 using randomized complex structures and silk, linen, hemp and stainless steel threads stained variably with plant dyes, ink and synthetic indigo.
