Julie Clendenen Simpson [1991, Textiles]
I design, draft and hand weave innovative, contemporary textiles on a 10 harness floor loom. A sculptural quality with multiple layers and unique textures is achieved by incorporating inventive weave structures. Each piece is reversible with subtle design details and patterns. All textiles are one a kind, woven with colorful sustainable fibers including soft, buttery cashmere, organic wools, merino wool, alpaca, silk, linen and bamboo. My aesthetic is COLOR and to create beautiful art to wear textiles that can be worn by all. I love color combining fibers to produce luxurious woven accessories that pursue elegance, creativity and classic craftsmanship.
