I've always been really inspired by oil paintings, especially landscapes. I came across Emily Jeffords through Instagram where I've religiously followed her work and process. While our pieces reflect opposite coasts, there's something telling in her paintings that remind me of the Pacific Ocean. I particularly fell in love with her Silence and Mystery piece which she gladly allowed me to translate into fiber terrain. My interpretation yielded stormy Pacific Ocean skies with clearing rays. The top half of this weaving was produced while on vacation in Montana and as I look back on it, I think the thunderstorms had a bit of influence as well... :)
