Handwoven Jacquard tapestries in linen and paper. Painted warp and hand dyed linen. Multi-layered weave.

Photography and Jacquard weaving are my tools to imbed my vision to cloth. The initial inspiration bubbles from my feelings and the desire to make them visible. When I walk ouside with my camera I look for wild patterns and color combinations that will touch my soul. The contrast of organic and geometric shapes in a city intrests me. The lines of nature soothe me. Multi-layered weave reflects the complexity of life which changes its mood so easily with color.
