At the center of this weaving is a woman who fell asleep in a chaotic world, surrounded by the refuse of the past. She imagines that she will awaken in a new world. The refuse will become flowers. Her braided hair has become the atmospheric perspective of the forest ridgelines at dawn. The weaving shows the Sun and trees in harmony. The chaotic tangle around her is a fiber-collage of refuse textiles found around Portland, transformed into a new artwork — materially representing the revitalized world she hopes to wake up to.
The Lluvia chaleco is for the wearer to be at peace with water and the rain.
Que llueva, que llueva,
Los pajaritos cantan,
Los nubes se levantan,
¡Que sí! ¡Que no! ¡Que caiga un chaparrón!
