g. roslie’s natural dyed textile art

my aim is to create a sense of peace, calm & contemplative reflection through the work i do both for myself as the maker and for the viewer. this is part of the “ordinary times” series celebrating the extraordinary beauty & fragility of sights, sounds, taste & touch we might witness during the course of what could be called an ordinary day.

Where the Circles Overlap

We burrow.


We hunch.


We beg and beg.

The thesis is still a river.

At the top of the mountain


is a murderous light, so strong

it’s like staring into an original


joy, foundational,

that brief kinship of hold


and hand, the space between

teeth right before they break


into an expansion, a heat.

We hurry.


We hanker.


We beg and beg.

When should we mourn?

We think time is always time.

And place is always place.

Bottlebrush trees attract


the nectar lovers and we

capture, capture, capture.

The thesis is still the wind.

The thesis has never been exile.


We have never been exiled.


We have been in the sun,

strong and between sleep,


no hot gates, no house decayed,

just the bottlebrush alive


on all sides with want.

g’s textile art are made from naturally hand dyed european linens. the backing is an undyed organic cotton/hemp. a square hardwood dowel slips into a pocket sewn on the back of the textile art making hanging a breeze. the hardwood dowel can be cut down flush along the edge of each side of the artwork if you prefer not showing the hanger. if this is your preference, please note this at the time of your purchase.

note: please keep all naturally dyed textile away from direct exposure to sunlight or harsh artificial light as well as excessive moisture or dry air/heat to prevent premature fading & degrading of fabric.
