Grapevine Weaving

It all started with this.

A huge grapevine choking a large tree on my property.

I dragged it all down and this huge pile became art material!

Find two trees far enough apart, but not too far. The weft comes first.

Up to ladder height.

Warp and weft.

Yes, that is an old wooden chair in there, thus giving the wall its name “Sitting on the Fence”.

Tendrils.

Of course, this holey stone, given to me by a friend, found its way into the wall.

In some light the whole installation looks like a big jumble. But the whole exercise wasn’t about the finished product so much as the hours of weaving which I ended up doing. The process!

6 hours later.

Morning light.

My intention is to photograph it during the seasons.
