Hope you all had a great weekend! I have been busy this week with some freelance work and trying to survive this chilly NYC weather. I saw this video on Joetta Maue's blog and found Kelsey Viola Wiskirchen's work so amazing and inspiring:
I have dreamed of working with a women's weaving collective in another culture and hearing about Kelsey's experience with weaving and natural dying in South Africa and Bolivia has inspired me to think about that venture again. I did a lot of weaving in college and loved it but haven't done much since, even though it is something that I haven't stopped thinking about and have vowed to myself to get back into. It has particularly been on my mind even more so lately and the other day when I saw this video it really seemed to be a sign. Funny how that works. I am sure once I begin it will be like reuniting with a long lost friend - never have missed a beat. I will keep you posted on that.
I think Kelsey's work is absolutely beautiful and her use of text and photographic imagery to tell the stories of women is something remarkable that really resonates with me.
