RE/VIEW

Re-View held my journey. 
Yes, it was a journey, into and through the past. I sat and shuffled through my handwoven archive, physically and mentally, the way you would flip through old photographs.
You recall the moment, the energy, the colours, the thoughts,
where you were, what was happening, and how it all shaped that yarn, that threading. 
It felt like swimming underwater, or flying above a landscape. You notice something, you pause, while another memory or image interlaces. And there… there, I re-questioned through a new touch, thoughts, patterns, emotions. I am a new reader in my own ocean. I move differently now. I can hold my breath. The memories created new rhythms in me,
in my fabrics.

Re-View is.
