g. roslie’s contemplative abstract modern textile art - ‘aspect’

i receive inspiration in many forms whether from a dream, a beautiful natural landscape, a poem that confirms or shifts my perspective, a word that resonates deeply or abundant forms of energy that exists in this & other dimensions. wherever the inspiration stems from, this form of textile art is a culmination of many things I love including the process of natural dyeing, sewing & appreciation for modern/abstract design & 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 you as the viewer.

:aspect ~ part of a series exploring the trickster archetype. a curious dream lead me down a rabbit hole in search of this powerful messenger. living through the pandemic, where everything and everyone has been disrupted in one way or another, the trickster reminds each of us to stay conscious, stay present and stay attuned & mindful to nature. things are rarely as they seem to be…

naturally dyed linen, pearl bead on canvas with wood floating frame

each textile art is made from naturally hand dyed flax linens.

the beauty of natural dyed textiles is the variation of colors and natural imperfections that occur during the dyeing process. the perfection of imperfection, somewhat akin to the ‘wabi-sabi’ principal is very much a part of my textile art which makes it wholly unique, one-of-a-kind and of nature.

note: please keep all naturally dyed textile away from direct exposure to sunlight or harsh artificial light to prevent premature fading & degradation of fabric.
