Weaving for Now

Woven from wool dyed by lichens, onion skins, fungi, beets and tea Weaving for Now is a reflection on the artist’s childhood spirituality grounded in place and play. Taking walks around her childhood neighborhood, Jules Davis collected memories, sounds and materials to weave into this piece. The artist’s past shapes the work by weaving memory and present experiences. A memory articulated: Map of Childhood Neighborhood maps this assemblage of sounds and images, emphasizing the important role of nature in reconnecting with her childhood self. Another snapshot of the past Hide and Seek is based on a childhood photograph of the artist and her brother. Weaving For Now explores the healing quality of acknowledging the past as agentic, actively forming the present.
