Wheatridge High School graduate Wendy Kowynia explores line and form through the use of thread and a loom, weaving intricate fiber works that are uniquely folded and manipulated. Kowynia’s textiles are created using specialized Japanese yarns of linen, paper, and silk, and are colored using natural dyes like indigo, sumi ink, walnut ink, and soymilk.
After carefully laying each thread in delicate lines, Kowynia bends the textile into gossamery structures that are both strong and elegant. This exhibition speaks to the iterative nature of the weaving process and brings awareness and intention to the laying in of each thread.
