Susan Richards, Intuitive Weaver

As a native Kansan and self-taught weaver, I intertwine my passions of weaving and mindful breathing to harness inner strength in a creative way. My Objective is to restore purpose and dignity to abandoned things - if only for a short time.

I allow intuition to guide my work, creating a balance between the material, the art, and the artist - with its imperfections and impermanence. I use humble materials; discarded fibers, items forgotten, supported by tree branches, creating an intentional contemplation of what was and what is right now.

Weaving With Repurposed Materials

  • Threads

    Reuse of discarded bits of string, thread, and yarn.

  • Clothing

    Bringing recycled cotton and woool clothing back to life.

  • Tree Branches

    Rekindled strength in fallen branches.
