In reaseaching around weaving I came across Linda Greens 'Exploring Structures' series. Her work takes the principles of weave but turns it into something quite minimal and modist. It reminds me of the wrappings ive been doing, yet where as in my wrapping i am focusing on colour analysis, Linda's work stems from wrappings around objects where the textile still remain. Peices of found wool, shells, wood, stones are all vessles in which hold the weave.
Its a simple yet wonderful depiction of how within weave, you just need something to hold your warp thread to then you can interject you weft over and under. Its working off the loom in an inventive and interesting way. The tiny scale of the work demands you to look closely and examine the tiny interweaving yarns.
