SNAPS FROM THE ARCHIVE 1990-2000

RAPUNZEL GETS A LIFE

One of a pair from an exhibition held at Hauraki House Gallery. Although the weavings were obviously referenced from Nusery Tales, they were fantastically dark little pieces. Simplicity sometimes works strong magic and these were sold during the exhibition.

I have mis-placed your name but thanks to the buyer for your support, and I hope you are still enjoying the work.

Tapestry Weavings By Stephenie Collin









WELCOME TO MY BLOG....






I hope you find Warped Art & Design both interesting and inspiring, and that it will encourage anyone working with fibre to investigate and experiment further within their chosen field.






The basic loom, which is my tool of trade, has remained technologically unchanged. This aspect appeals to me as I weave contemporary images on a machine of such simple and ancient construction.

And if the loom be silenced,
then needles, threads and fingers
have plenty more to say.
