Journey Trees III, Sara Brennan, hand-woven textile wall sculpture

About the Item

Journey Trees III, linens and swing threads, 8" x 8" x 1", 2021. This figurative woven textile piece is by UK-based textile artist, Sara Brennan (b. 1963, Edinburgh, Scotland). She says, "Journey Trees is a series of tapestries drawn and woven from a temporary studio space made when we couldn’t access our studios in the first lockdown and I had to work from home. The drawings for the tapes - tries were taken from photographs of trees that I would drive past on a journey that I had been doing at least twice a week for the last six years or more. This journey stopped during lockdown. Drawing, weaving and looking at these trees from a different context took me on another journey. The study of these trees and the tracing of time brought a new rhythm to a place. I was able to take home a minimal amount of materials; drawing things, a small loom, some warp, some bobbins, a selection of yarns. Until I had established a new group of drawings there was no way of knowing what yarn would work with an individual drawing. Each tapestry was woven with a slightly different linen. All of the linens are older yarns that can’t be replaced. All these different linens had their own properties from thickness to texture to tone. Some of the linen seems natural and not dyed. It was important and interesting to make these yarns work individually and together as a part of a group. Working within a limited amount of materials and resources felt very productive."
