Taking it all in - you are a gifted weaver I can tell. You are also a talented writer and I encourage you to continue to describe your weavings as if the "words of your heart" are woven into their very warp and weft.<br /><br />You write about threading back and forth -- between wanting to recreate <i>the austere minimalist art galleries I loved in Tokyo vs. the familiar and cozy perception of the handwoven textile in New Zealand</i> ... Though I haven't seen the show in person (wish I could - reallllyyyy wish I could) through your photos I can tell that whatever compromise you <i>did</i> come up with is truly elegant. The name of your exhibit, the colors in your shawls, the almost zen-like shapes, compliment those gorgeous white walls. <br /><br />To my mind, in mounting this exhibit (I agree hanging an exhibit is an art form in itself!) you have remembered <b>one of the most basic elements of good design -- negative space</b> gives your pieces room to breathe. And gives the viewers room to respond, think, contemplate and move with the art.<br /><br />I hope you have a fantastic turnout and lots of good press. You really deserve accolades.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967323387645271468noreply@blogger.com
