"Here's the most complex textural experiment-yet simple basic composition with "stars" in syncopated rhythm playing through space with a timeless immediacy.  Alas, no nubby yarn-unraveled the bird-like tapestry.  It was matted brushed mohair slub-did give me the loop wool for the center to symbolize tears of despair/loss to accent the luminosity of the moon and its warmth (light pink silk strand).  The jet black sheen is viscose filament, the whispy strands creating the varigation like the night breezes.

 

"This tapestry is to encourage endurance during painfully slow progress with reassurance of passage."

 

"A meditation upon transition.

 

"Sun down

Savoring completion, accomplishment, reflection on what is loved, enjoyed, aching awareness of passing away the transitory nature of satisfaction.

 

"Starlight, Full Moon

Abrupt entry into the night, fading into the depth of being, entering the mysterious core of life, facing anxiety, fears of the unknown, to go beyond previously understood reality, find a sense of awe amid dread, exhilaration in the stars' visionary guidance, the full moon, women's wisdom, a pearl renewing wholeness, luminating refulfillment.

 

"Sunrise

The shimmering horizon line revealing the power to transform negative into enlightenment, inherent power, energy to bring forth a new day, emerging transformation."
