Re-invented

detail

Reinventing one self is a life-long process, as is the evolution of our perception of the world around us, including the people around us.  In this woven piece I explored reinventing one person though experimentation with silk screening on the woven piece in various ways.  As I wove each new version I recorded the words and phrases that came to me.  It was like building characters in a novel;  each time I printed and wove a new version I learned more about who this person was and what they were experiencing.  Often the processes I used dictated those experiences.

Some of the words were:

partier
acceptance
regret
savvy
mysterious
unkempt
slut
