Image Statement: This is one of ten weavings which comprise The Chorus. The warp and tabby weft are dyed with plants from my yard while the pattern weft is dyed in indigo. Each weaving in The Chorus contains a message in morse code which is woven into the structure of the piece using a traditional summer and winter pattern. This piece contains the message I Will Arise from the poem The Lake Isle Of Innisfree by Yeats. The phrases I have chosen to weave in this series are all exhortations our endangered species could be silently screaming as they go extinct.
