Checkerboard isbuilt from narrow woven panels which I stitched together once they were off the loom, forming a larger cloth - a process which merges my interest in weaving, patchwork and mending. I feel there is a true harmony and balance in my work when I am able to blend all these mediums. For this piece, I used second hand rust coloured linen and the leftover cream cotton thrums from an old warp. I assembled the panels so that the cotton fringe would overlap and obscure some of the linen squares, distorting the checkerboard pattern with rich texture.
