Engaging in traditional processes of fabric construction—weaving, knotting, or looping—holds its own reward independent of the resulting product. There is deep satisfaction to be found in the rhythmically repeating movements of making cloth. The cloth is a record of the process, and the surface image is largely controlled by the rigorous symmetry of its structure. Needing to impose my own idiosyncratic control on the development of imagery, however, I eventually turned from fabric construction to embroidery, which is freer from structural constraints.
