This is the original tapestry weaving of The beauty of what some may call nothing: in lightness, can be described below:

When walking along the wrack line, I often notice sun-worn, water-carved driftwood, plump or faded seaweed, bright plastic shards, and vacated crab shells. When I pause and look, I see feathers that may have fallen from a seagull. The feathers have a quiet presence; they steadily exist when most may not be looking. I have seen these feathers for a long time, but in the past year, I’ve been able to SEE them.Seagulls can be varied in appearance, most often clean and crisp against a grey sky. I want to know more about them, but I only want to watch them and wonder. I prefer the mystery and rambling of my imagination. Tactility within my ethical material selection and a prolonged study of feathers led to the composition of this piece. I weave with the technical back of the tapestry facing me. As I am weaving, the result is often a mystery until I remove the finished work. This piece was my first attempt at weaving feathers. I wanted to weave in actual feathers, but I found it might not be ethical or legal. A friend suggested I weave the feathers, and I had to convince myself that I could. I wanted the feathers to have a luster unlike most of the Weavings I have made. I decided to use linen yarns ( gifted to me). These fine yarns were dyed with synthetic dyes - something I don't use. The linen yarns were cradled by mohair boucle and Navajo churro yarn. I had used this in small amounts for a previous weaving and fell in love with the textural combination. My hope for this piece is to share the quiet beauty of things that often go unseen.
 
In addition to this original, handwoven piece, I commissioned three jacquard editions.  There will only be three produced.  Zero of these remain available on my website's shop
