Grateful Tribe
The Nature of Being
Around and Around
Grateful TribeEach vessel expression of being is presented as a subset of the larger group - the family unit that supports its members. Together they are a grateful and powerful tribe. (Wet-felted wool roving, hand-dyed silk thread, mixed beads, mahogany wood)
The Nature of BeingLike all works in the wood-footed series of vessels, this piece visually defines an embodiment. With its gestural presentation, it is a spirit of being. There is a sense of compliance (but not weakness) in this gentle giant. With its powerful feet planted firmly, it has the capacity to quietly endure the substance and consequence of being. (Wet-felted merino wool roving with silk; jute and driftwood)
Around and AroundInspired by long-travelled beads, this vessel form speaks to history and memories. Round is a profound word with an entire range of rich meanings that relate to a sense of place and time. As to ‘Go the Rounds’ of working toward a sense of completeness - to develop one’s self toward betterment over a lifetime. This wood-footed vessel, heavy with beaded detail Carrie’s a somewhat ceremonial air while the blue graphic symbols against the black ground suggest essential Earthly elements of water, birds and clouds all moving along at a more metered pace- like the seasons. (Macramé twining, weaving, knitting and wrapping; waxed linen, vintage trade beads, driftwood)
