I’ve been passing the hot, sleepless evenings daydreaming about the Orkney Hood. What is the Orkney Hood you say? And why would I be daydreaming about it? Check out this slightly dramatic but very informative video. https://lnkd.in/g5ciyWd6 I have always thought of myself as a craft person more than an artist. And as a crafts person I think the idea of trying to reproduce the Hood is a wonderful idea. But something about this piece makes me want to go several steps further, in a way making a reinterpretation of this garment as a personal statement. This generates thoughts for me about culture appropriation. I love textiles and fabrics and garments from all kinds of times and places. I would be very comfortable reproducing a work from another culture as a tribute to that culture and for my personal use. When I lived in Turkey and was married to a carpet dealer, I wove myself a prayer rug. Doing a reinterpretation of a garment and claiming it as my own expression is a different matter. I would never weave a ‘Navajo style’ rug and exhibit it unless it was a strictly a demonstration of technique. However, I come from a predominately anglo heritage, including the Orkney Islands, and I feel comfortable not only trying to make a reproduction of the Hood, but taking it one step further and rebuilding it in an artistic expression of how I see garments. Like any good project, it needed some challenges. Here are a few that feel important to me. I hate to sew – My preference is for modular knitted garments that avoid seams. Can I make this garment with minimal to no sewing or loose edges? I want a hood that will keep my head dry but won’t impede my vision. – can I shape the hood as I weave it to give it a better fit? I want to limit this to fiber that's already in my yarn stash- This is self explanatory! I have deep thoughts on how I will accomplish all these things… stay tuned for some serious textile nerdiness! In the meantime, props to Rolf Verberg for his excellent and detailed analysis and reconstruction found here. I don’t know if I could do this project without his work as a starting point. https://lnkd.in/gEsU8_Ki

Fabulous article! I had no idea she was an abstract artist as well. We live in fantastic times where, as women, we can freely and unapologetically be complex individuals and no longer live in ‘the box’ others tried to place us in. As human beings we are never just one thing; we are these interesting mix of life experiences, desires, loves, dislikes and sooo much more = beautifully uniquely complex 💕 Love her body of work shown in this article and looking forward to following her further.
The multi-hyphenate star took us on a tour of her new exhibition and sat down for a sprawling, enlightening conversation.

🎨 Reflecting on the Timeless Journey of Art and Companionship! 🚂 Augustus Leopold Egg's 1862 masterpiece, "The Travelling Companions," presents a captivating view of two young women seated opposite each other in a railway carriage, each absorbed in her reverie. The painting, rich in detail and symbolism, portrays not just a physical journey but an introspective voyage as well. Many years ago, during one of my travels, I found myself sharing a compartment with a stranger – a moment that at first was filled with mutual reticence but gradually unfolded into one of the most enriching conversations of my life. This experience strikingly mirrored the themes in Egg’s work, where travel opens avenues to new insights and connections, whether with others or within oneself. Egg challenges us to consider the layers of our journeys. 🧳 The dual imagery in his painting depicts symmetry and mirroring, prompting a reflection on our lives as parallel narratives with those around us. Isn’t it fascinating how art from centuries ago can still resonate so profoundly with our modern-day experiences? Let's embrace the journeys we undertake, mindful of the personal evolutions and bonds they foster. Have you ever had a transformative experience while traveling? Feel free to share your stories in the comments below. Let's inspire each other through the art of shared experiences! #ArtHistory #AugustusLeopoldEgg #VictorianArt #BritishArt #TravelAndArt #TheTravellingCompanions #ArtLovers #MuseumVisits #CulturalHeritage #ArtInspiration #Reflections #PersonalJourneys #LifeLessons #ClassicArt #ArtisticConnections #SharedExperiences
