Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of wall hangings as constructed in the discipline of weaving, an art-form. Since the artist-craftsman is concerned with aesthetic solution, the elements of structure, form, color, and texture are emphasized. Fundamental techniques, equipment, and materials used are discussed. Problems which evolved are identified; conclusions for modifying the problems are attempted. Colored pictures of the wall hangings are included.

This body of work serves as a basis for further experimentation and exploration of fabric construction on and off the loom.
