Within The Waves - Large Woven Tapestry
Within The Waves — Large Woven Tapestry
The ocean is my calming place, even within the waves pop uncertainty. And it has been a generous teacher throughout many seasons of life. Grief is like an ocean. It ebbs + flows. It is wild + unpredictable. Its depths are fathomless + cannot be contained. It comes in like a riptide + forces us to fight like hell to stay afloat. We may have experiences being in the ocean, but each time is different. Because the ocean makes the rules. We may have experiences with our own grief, but each instance is different. Because grief makes the rules. When our world is grieving — we need to stop anchoring one another with judgment for how one grieves + instead throw out love like a lifeline. Empathy + compassion + a listening ear can make the waves of grief much easier to ride. So, for the reimaged #photostofibers collection I drew inspiration from this photo I took within the waves of grief.
I set out to paint with fiber the beautiful yet tumultuous ocean, combining multiple textures + hues of ocean blue, seafoam, aqua + mint.
My original photo “Within The Waves” is available here.
Size: 25” W x 25”H
Color: Ocean, Teal, Aqua, Turquoise, Indigo, White, Seafoam, Mint, Navy, + Light Turquoise, on a chunky piece of driftwood

With every sale, you choose a project you would like to support. My hope is that it would connect you to some incredible work that is being done around the world. Together, we are #knotjustthreads, we are an interwoven tapestry and when we come together, beautiful things can happen.
I have been intentional with the organizations I have chosen to support. I know that it is not only important to know where the money goes, but to know that the work is being done in sustainable ways to produce a long-lasting impact. Having personally partnered with each of these organizations in the field, I have seen how they practice love in action.
