Kelly
Marshall - Custom HandWovens - Functional art pieces |
Artist's Statement
"My artwork is an expression of
color and pattern created through the process of weaving. I studied
weaving in Sweden and often draw on this influence when designing but look
to interject my own twist of color and pattern. The Scandinavian Rep
weave technique is used to produce these functional art pieces including:
rugs, wall pieces, fabrics, throws, pillows and tote bags. Each
textile is custom designed for a specific interior setting and then hand-woven
in limited editions. My designs also reflect other influences such
as the Prairie Style, American Southwest, and contemporary designs to coordinate
with any interior style. "

The textiles are woven of lustrous
all natural, color-fast cotton, and linen yarns. They are reversible,
washable and durable for functional use as floor coverings as well as
fabrics and art pieces.
