VIBGYOR by Heather Macali

Dyed wool and painted poplar. 16" x 14.5" x 3" Process/Concept: My work investigates how woven structure can transform cloth into a dimensional surface. Through systematic variations in weave architecture and color relationships, I explore how the interlacement of threads produces rhythm, depth, and optical tension. From the Artist: In this body of work, I use 100% wool and dye my yarns with acid dyes. When used in the correct proportions, acid dyes can fully exhaust from the dye bath, minimizing waste and reducing environmental impact.
