Butterfly Woman Dances
with Her Shadow
My husband, Jim Findlay, is a jazz musician and
composer, who is deeply influenced by flamenco. And, because he practices for
hours every day, his music is woven into the fiber art that I make. His piece 'Spanish
Light' inspired me to
create 'Butterfly Woman Dances with Her Shadow'.
You can see and hear 'Spanish
Light' in a video
that our son, Angus Findlay, filmed and edited.
This was a live performance at a concert in
celebration of the legendary Gypsy musician,
Django Reinhardt in January 2011 in Edmonton,
Alberta – Here's the link
For many years, I have loved photographing
shadows, and working with shadow imagery.
This piece, which is one of a series of fiber art
collages that I call 'Woven
Women', is an
exploration of shadows and light.
The shadow is crocheted wire, and Butterfly
Woman was woven with wool in tapestry, inkle
and frame loom weaving techniques. Her necklace
is a wooden circle with sewing thread tatted over it. She is approximately 23
inches/58 cm tall and 8 inches/20 cm wide at the widest point.
