g. roslie’s natural dyed textile art

my aim is to create a sense of peace, calm and contemplative reflection through the work i do both for myself as the maker and for the viewer. these are interpretations of moments captured in deep observation of life as well as imagery sensed from poems and other inspired writings utilizing the colors of nature and other natural materials.

You will remember that whimsical ravine


where the vibrant aromas rose,


and from time to time a bird dressed


in water and languor: winter’s garment.

You will remember those gifts from the earth:


piquing fragrance, gold clay,


thickets of herbs, wild roots,


bewitching thorns like swords.

You will remember the bouquet you brought,


a bouquet of shadow and silent water,


a bouquet like foam-covered stone.

And that time was like never and always:


We go where nothing is expected


and find everything waiting there.

~Pablo Neruda (from the poem “Morning”)
