W-7: "Tapestries in Glass" by Anita Damron

Art created is a manifestation of skill, experience and spirit utilizing various mediums in creative ways to communicate between the artist and the viewer. The tapestry series was originally inspired by the Rajasthani tapestries of India. It has taken on added inspirations of flora and fauna and special materials. Crystals from the Czech Republic and Austria, recycled glass made into tiles from Turkey, ceramic microtiles from Morocco, murrini glass from Italy, findings and glass from China, along with glass made by small family owned businesses in the USA are used to create unique works symbolizing that we can all work together to create beauty.
