Hand, Arching, Opening

Handspun Chilean wool raised by Paty Ayelef

10x 24 in

In this piece for my solo show at the Cambridge Foundry titled Bedrock, handspun yarn curves and drapes like an opening hand. I spun this skein on a handmade Mapuche spindle while apprenticing master fiber artist Paty Ayelef in Chile. The twists and curls of the skein document the live energy carried in Mapuche handspun wool.
