I'm working on a new mini-series in my studio. They’re still in the early stages, but I’m already in love with the texture of each piece.
Lately, I’ve been increasingly drawn to texture and have been wondering why.
The word ‘texture’ derives from late Middle English, originally denoting a woven fabric or something resembling it. It comes from the Latin word textura, meaning ‘weaving’, which in turn comes from the verb texere, meaning ‘to weave’.
Perhaps it’s this concept of ‘weaving’ that resonates with me—the idea that everything in life and nature is interwoven. The quality created by the combination of different elements in a work (and in life) fosters discovery, intrigue, and wonder.
Texture is truly wonder-filled.
