HOST Painting

Hand woven contemporary textile art. HOST is part of a series that studies light and dark, how the two blends together in nature creating subtle colour change as time passes. HOST is inspired by autumn, with a heavy burgundy red fading into a light neutral. A contemporary and abstract take on nature and landscape art. The weave is entirely hand made using traditional equipment and woven on a mechanical dobby loom. The viscose/ linen warp is prepared, then stretched out over a large table and hand-painted. The warp needs time to fully dry, only then can it go on to the wooden loom. The loom set-up process starts by threading up each single warp end, one yarn at a time, ready for weaving. The weft yarn is introduced, to interlock the vertical and horizontal yarns to woven cloth. The mix of materials creates movement and texture, resulting in a soft contemporary painting with strong ties to traditional textile making.
