Weaving

Guild member since 1984

Amanda approaches her work with order, strength, and beauty in mind but most of all with a love for the complexities of the color itself, a devotion to the study of weave structures, and a desire to use the interplay of fiber, texture, and light. She especially likes to weave undulating surfaces which shimmer with reflective materials, creating illusions of light. She is fascinated with the elegance of textiles used in historic weaving and attempts to redefine them in her own work. She says this has been a gradual process of trying, learning, discarding, and accepting. She wants her weaving to be seen not as merely decorative, but suggestive of the venerable structures of ancient textiles.
