roots Life’s Journey
15" x 12" Mixed media with plant roots
The original in the series, this piece uses a higher proportion of roots than most of my weaving. It seeks to fill our need for grounding during uncertain times.
Some of the weft is raw and bumpy, while other areas are soft and smooth, just as life’s journey has its ups and downs. But overall, the monochromatic use of earth toned yarns, paired with natural roots, has a tranquil feel. The “golden thread”, a reference to Greek mythology, guides us through life’s journey.
