West Hartford Yoga tapestry

4 feet x 7 feet

The tapestry consists of 44 different fabrics and pieces sewn together to form a design that conveys organic, natural growth.

It has 6 sections of color: brown, blue/green, green, purple, red and gold. The variety of color in the sections for me is symbolic of the acceptance, support and encouragement to explore, find and truly be yourself that the yoga community provides.The layers of this tapestry are reminiscent of the layers of my true self that were unfolding in my yogic journey while creating this piece. The edges of each piece of fabric are raw and frayed, and form the vine-inspired shape that moves throughout. hemp rope was hand sewn to each layer.

The fabrics in the tapestry combine to create a lush and varied piece consisting of a variety of textures, including mohair, velour, velvets, crushed velvets, silks, raw silks and suedes.

This tapestry hangs at the new West Hartford Yoga studio.
