The structure gives me limitations. If one understands the limitations of the medium you're working in, you also understand the possibilities. The other lesson that the loom has really taught me is the importance of being consistent in decision-making in my life. The rhythm at the loom, the passing of the shuttles through the tapestry, the back and forth motion, all of that has helped me develop as a person. --James Koehler, 2010
Note: Just to be clear, this is not my video. It was made by Karen Cantor of Singing Wolf Documentaries and you can find it HERE.
Great video, Rebecca. Very well made, and of course, it's always to see James and his weaving.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this Rebecca. I would love to see the whole video. He was an amazing artist and I can see his influence in your tapestries.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting the video. I am certain I'll watch it a few more times. I think that his desire to include you to be part of the video is so very nice. I hope to see some of his tapestry in person someday.
