October Showcase

In October, we showcased Bhakti Ziek's "Black Locust". Although we chose this work for its lovely fall colors, Bhakti had something entirely different in mind. She writes: "...As I start to work on my new TC-1 loom, the challenges I put forth for myself are to create sensuous work that speak of my passion for weaving, my belief that textiles do have a unique expression derived from their innate processes and that it is possible to create intriguing work that speaks to our times, using modern technology, but still has its roots in the past, honors that past, but speaks to the future. It is not an easy challenge - I certainly hope I can persevere and succeed." Bhakti writes in more detail about her work in the June, 2007 Complex Weavers Journal.
