Dawn Looming Orange Cloth
| ~~JoAnne Cook - |
From the moment I heard about The Thread Project, I longed to be a part of it. I am a weaver and spinner who loves sharing my craft with others. Over the past 34 years I have woven everything from bookmarks to room-sized rugs. Weaving this panel is my favorite project to date because it encompasses many things I value:
-- The discovery of beauty and meaning in everyday things
-- Scrounging, recycling, and 'making do' with what is at hand
-- Spontaneous artistic expression, not limited to artists per se
-- Group participation on a grand scale
-- Art that is accessible to everyone, at every stage: from concept, to completion, to exhibition
-- Art that is free--in all senses of the word (which, incidentally, is why I chose to weave in shredded money)
-- The astonishing impact of juxtaposition, both planned and serendipitous
It was an honor to be a part of this endeavor. |
