Hi, This is Mara with Fiber Art TV.
Bodies of water are a big part of my life. I've spent most of my life living on an island or coastline. Vast ranges of blues can be seen in oceans and seas which inspired the OCEANIA SERIES.
Multicolored cotton and metallic threads are unraveled, bound, wrapped and woven in three layers for these fiber art wall hangings using my original technique.
Be sure to watch more of my art work on Fiber art TV. FiberArtTv is all about the world of weaving; an art form over 10,000 years old and a fundamental process for existence today! Museums have been established to promote increased appreciation for the history of weaving and other fiber art throughout the world. The everyday needs of our prehistoric ancestors probably led them to create objects using fiber as a medium. Archaeologists believe that basket making and weaving were probably the first "crafts" developed by humans.Today fiber art, textiles, woven materials and objects surround every person. The need for clothing woven from yarn and thread is no longer a basic necessity but a huge billions of dollars industry employing millions of designers, weavers, dyers, sewers, textile mills and fiber artists. My fiber art fascination is with the endless possibilities that can be achieved starting with one simple thread.
