CREATION:
MYTHIC WEAVINGS
July 31-August 6,
2005
50 Aborn Street
Providence, Rhode Island
The Gypsy Mamas present an installation as part of the Magdalena USA, a gathering of women theatre artists from around the globe. Come and experience this colorful, tactile landscape of fabric and yarn balls. Join us in A Marvelous Making at 4:30pm on Friday, August 5, and create a ball of your own to add to our ever evolving landscape of creation.
Cairns of layered, dense balls of fabric and yarn and piles and mountains of strips of muslin, ranging from small to giant in size, mark a sacred journey. Layers of cloth transform into a landscape. These are the materials of weaving, accessible and familiar, revealing the potential for the witness becoming creator.
