ON Proportion

I work with symmetry and asymmetry, often not even thinking actively about that. In designing, it is as if I enter a world totally focused on the design – tunnel vision – my hand following its own independent path. I enter a meditative state, separating from the outside world. If I tire, I stop. Sometimes I can go on and create multiple designs. There is no certainty of how it will go. In the end the pieces are in proportion. If not, I would not be able to let go and move on to the next step – weaving. In weaving tapestries for 40 years, perhaps I have learned that, for me, this is the art of it. |
