Hi my name is Sydney! Welcome to my world of all things yarn and weaving!
I weave items both to bring joy to the world and for myself. My work examines the relationship between color and pattern. By hand dyeing yarn and then bringing them together within complex patterns, I am able to explore new and intricate possibilities. Weaving is my medium of choice because, in addition to designing new patterns and fields of color, the repetitive nature of crafting the work itself on my looms allows me to slip into a relaxed and yet focused state, with the motions establishing a rhythmic flow. Each piece I design and weave, from scarves to large installations, are created to pay tribute and bring attention to a single creature's unique beauty and story. I am constantly inspired by the beautiful colors and patterns in nature and the way those colors and patterns interact, and my work allows me to share some of that joy with others, and hopefully creates a space for others to slow down and reconnect with nature.
