Sarah Symes, Textile Cadet
Y'know, we've become accustomed to thinking of WF shirts as woven works of art. But then we saw the "abstract contemporary textile art" of artiste (and friend of the blog) Sarah Symes and were mightily humbled. Sarah's work takes a painterly approach to woven tableaux, representing scenes like a Venice sunset entirely in colored thread. Her renderings combine the visceral intensity of the Impressionists with the geometric shorthand of the modernists ... or something. Whatever. It's pretty.
So naturally we're pleased as punch to see the creator herself in one of our little textile items, namely the ultra-smart Debbie Harry Bluejackets tee.
In any case, allow us to needle you into visiting her site and checking out her woven wonders.
