Field Cloths

IMG_6926_edited.jpg

Field Cloths are ritual textiles created through movement, breath, water, and natural pigment. ​​They are not designed. They are listened into being. ​

 

Each cloth is formed through embodied mark-making, intuitive flow, and the slow dialogue between fabric, pigment, and time. ​​

 

Some are created through sweeping gestures of sustainable paint. Others through the gentle blooming of plant and mineral dyes carried by water and gravity. ​​

​

They are made to hold space — for rooms, for bodies, for moments of stillness.

Two expressions of the same field

Hanging Field Cloths   Large-scale textiles created to live in space — on walls, in studios, meditation rooms, and ceremonial environments.   They organise the field of a room, inviting the nervous system to soften, the breath to deepen, and the mind to quiet.

Wearable Fields   Hand-dyed and hand-painted silk garments created through the same ritual process.   They are designed to be worn as a second skin — allowing the body to move inside the field, carrying presence and softness through daily life.

How to live with a Field Cloth

Field Cloths are not decorative objects.

 

They are made to be:

     lived with

     breathed with

     moved beside

     rested beneath

 

Some people hang them in their homes or studios.

Some wear them.

Some bring them into ritual or meditation.

 

Each one finds its own way.
