As the reality of climate change becomes evident with the pandemic, huge amounts of rainfall, more tornadoes and a variety of disruptions to daily life, I find shelter in my studio. It is there that I can consider my need to calm the chaos or to reflect what is happening around me. Working with yarns, my loom and designs of my own imagining, I weave tapestries. Some are small abstractions, while others are slightly larger and use the simplified image of a house, as the center amidst catastrophes. For the span of time when I am weaving, life slows, my focus is narrowed and my anxiety is momentarily placed on the back burner.
