ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Living on an emu farm, I often marvel at the beauty of their feathers. During the winter you can find feathers laying on the snow and I tried to incorporate this into my weaving. This original handwoven wall hanging will add a point of interest in any room. The "home grown" emu feathers, straight off the farm, give the fringe and tassel a unique appearance. Measuring 31 inches long, including the fringe, and 10 inches wide this weaving was made by hand, with love, care and a sprinkle of imagination. Quote: "To succeed, you need to take that gut feeling in what you believe and act on it with all your heart." Christy Borgeld

I have never really had any desire to pick up a paint brush, other than to paint the house, but ever since I can remember I have been creating, wanting to work with colour and texture to express myself. Weaving has become one of my avenues for expression. I began selling my weaving nearly 40 years ago. (I guess that means I am old now). I use many of painting’s techniques and concepts: working with colour, abstract design, repetition, use of line and texture. I thoroughly enjoy the freedom of this form of constructive art. I often take inspiration from nature, trying to incorporate the feeling and intrigue nature gives us, wanting to stimulate thought for those who look at my work. I try to provide energy, depth and movement through the use of both colour and texture, realizing that everyone will interpret my creations in their own individualized way. Commissioned work, in any size, is always welcome. I would like to thank Saatchi for giving me the opportunity to share my creations, and I am hoping that they can bring some joy into the lives of others.
