Statement: Weaving is a very natural movement for me, like reaching out to touch a flower. When I am prevented from weaving for any period of time, I realize on returning to my workshop how very much I love it, how much it is a part of my everyday life, and how the very process of weaving serves as meditation for me. Sometimes the process of weaving for me begins with the material – I touch a material and I wish to weave a work made of it. Or, the process begins with an image – I see a beautiful landscape, or listen to a feeling very deep in my heart, and I wish to express that in my work. Or it may begin with an exploration of structure – a certain texture or sense of movement that I wish to create through my weaving. Or, the process may be spurred by color. I find that choosing amongst colors and touching various colored yarns is almost play, and that may explain why I mix many colors when making my warp.                                                                                                              Kaori Maki
