It is the still small voice, the thread which beckons. The Japanese metallic coated monofilament echoes throughout my recent work, every thread precious. I spied the shimmering warp in a treasure box, chained into small loops, reminding me of minnows swimming close to shore. I first used this metallic monofilament as a warp and wove Burnished Countenance. Then I used single threads to stitch patterns into my rubbed pastels, the Pollen Velvets and into papyrus, Telios. The metallic thread has deepened my sense of play with silver leaf in Surfacing and Fierce Solace. With pigment, pastel, ink, dye, and metal, I rub color and work the liminal space between a painted surface and the woven structure.
