Gayleen Schrider

Gayleen primarily weaves with wool, but other fibres and textiles such as copper wire, silk, hemp , leather and cottons are also used in woven and manipulated formats. Environmental themes are explored - the changing climate, landscapes, the sea, birds and bush. Sizes of art works range from large wall hangings to small sculptural items. Some wearable and functional articles are available, often made with home spun and home dyed fibres. Inspiration comes from the natural New Zealand environment and artistic expression is influenced by contemporary Scandanavian weavers and fibre artists.
