"peace" natural dyed textile art by g roslie Collage

my aim is to create a sense of peace, calm & contemplative reflection through the work i do both for myself as the maker and for the viewer. this piece was inspired by a photo i took during a hike where i came upon a great blue heron in complete stillness. The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. g’s textile art are made from naturally hand dyed european linens. the reverse side is solid organic cotton muslin. a square wooden dowel slips into a pocket sewn on the back of the textile art making hanging a breeze. for more info please visit
