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, and in contemplative or ceremonial environments.

They shape the atmosphere of a room, inviting stillness, focus, and a sense of quiet presence.

Wearable Fields

Hand-dyed and hand-painted silk garments created through the same ritual process.

They are made to be worn as a second skin — allowing the body to move within the field, carrying softness and attention through daily life.

Living with a Field Cloth

They are made to be:

lived with,

 breathed with,

moved beside,

 rested beneath.

 

Some are hung in homes or studios.

Some are worn.

Some enter moments of ritual or reflection.

 

Each one finds its own way.
