The subtle harmonies in the shifting gradations of color and weave are interpretive representations of natural phenomena and reflect my continuing interest in landscapes, geographical locations, and topical space. I love working with color and enjoy the creative freedom this technique allows me within the confines of a complex textile. |

My contemporary art work consists of a kind of fiber painting technique that remains unique in that I dye my fiber first, then weave it on a floor loom. Since they are hand dyed, natural color shifts occur by the dyes when changing from one color to another. The fundamental nature of a finished piece provides prominent colors with complimentary accents. Weaving on a floor loom takes two strands of yarn, one is the weft, the other is the warp. The weft is the yarn that goes left and right or back and forth on the loom. The weft can be solid black or cream. The warp is the long (40 feet) strand that is fed through the loom. The warp can be a gradation of 8 shades of gray to black or another set of yarn that has been hand dyed. Either process produces stunning depths of field not usually found in media of fiber. Gunther Fibers has a long history of beautiful color and appealing art work that lasts for years to come. Fiber helps with sound absorption in a home theater setting or business conference room. They look great in a dining room, kitchen, living room, foyer or lobby entrance. Don't be surprised at the sensation and attention they receive. |

I do 18-22 fine art and art/craft shows a year. Be sure to check out my Show Page. My hand dyed, hand woven wool pieces are all one of a kind, sophisticated pieces. I also make sculptural work with these flat pieces. |
