TEXTILE – HANDWOVEN
Handwoven textiles are narratives, woven and decorated by these thoughts and emotions that flow through each yarn, weft and warp, colors and patterns, carefully crafted with sincere love, care and creativity. Here we share the stories of talented crafters of traditional and contemporary textiles.
Every piece of art has a story to tell, and in light of our theme of “Resurgence” this year, we bring together stories of sustainable art practices using eco-friendly materials to create one-of-a-kind objects of art.
Rinzin Wangmo
Rinzin Wangmo is a professional weaver and dyer. Her process involves warping, and there is a special need for a card (used to be animal hide) made from X-ray film. Hard Cover Files are used as heddles and the loom has to be a back strap loom. She has traveled out of the country, all due to weaving. Rinzin excelled in all weaving techniques and dyeing. She encourages youths to learn to weave and gives talks in schools.
