Barbara Weeks

	Recently settled (2019) in Geographe Bay, in the South West region of Western Australia, there is much to explore and inspire. A temperate climate with contrasting coastlines, ancient forests, fascinating geology and glorious wild flowers. I am creating colour and texture in surface design through the wet felting process: ‘laminating’ wool to silk which demands that I engage intimately with the qualities in these natural fibres. Working directly with my hands is liberating, exciting, risky and yet calming, serendipitous. The cloth created changes with manipulation, suggesting further development with layering and stitch.
In my portfolio, a retrospective of all Journal quilts, one a month since 2007 together with many quilts and felts, some of which I couldn't bring with me!
