A close friend of 60+ years recently commissioned me to make a piece of art for her contemporary home. Her home’s bright primary colors, accented with lots of black, is not a palate I work in, so I was challenged. I made the work pictured here as a meditation on our friendship. I wove 82 hand-dyed and printed silk and cotton strips and added yellow “diamonds” to the piece to express our treasured relationship. Finally, I overlaid the piece with a black and metallic silver netting, an expression of the difficult and happy times we shared. The finished work measures 26” X 56” and is pictured here with a detail.
