For Sylvie
Handwoven tapestry, cotton warp, hand dyed wool weft. For Sylvie was woven in response to the sudden and premature death of a close friend, a way to process my grief in the immediate aftermath. It celebrates our friendship and her kindness and generosity to me in her unfailing support of me as I developed as an artist. The words she holds are the last written to me by her and with them the tapestry becomes another memento mori - remember you will die.
