	NEW WORK FIELD OF FLOWERS  TIME & PLACE	COLLECTIONS OF RUGS AND TAPESTRIES More than 1,200 years ago, the people of the American Southwest perfected the vertical loom and weaving techniques I use today. With selvages on all four sides of each piece, I can pack the weft yarn tightly so the rug will withstand hard wear on the floor. I dye the wool yarns I use for weft with modern washfast, lightfast “acid” dyes (the acid is ordinary vinegar), which give me a wide range of rich colors with minimal environmental impacts. I design my weavings with a view to their being used as rugs lying on the floor, but they can also be enjoyed hung on the wall.
