Let’s Get Small

Weaving small format … happened through circumstance … my husband and I make regular trips in a small camper to our mountain property in southern New Mexico. … The loom had to … fit in with everything else. … When I found the courage to enter my first exhibit … all works had to be 4" x 6"…
The words of one person [during an artists’ reception] … really helped dissolve any doubts I had about weaving “small” landscapes. She [said] I had taken a very large subject and distilled it down to its essence, accurately depicting its grandeur, yet creating an intimacy that drew the viewer in.

Thinking Small

“Small” is no stranger in my life. Having spent a great amount of time working in the biological sciences, viewing life behind a microscope, I am comfortable in the environment of things small scale.…
Working small is consistent with the way I view the immensity of the world around me. … I trust the nature of the small to inform me about the reality of the grand.
