Handwoven
by Dani Ortman
FIND ME IN THE SLOW AND RHYTHMIC BEAT OF MY HAND LOOM
WATCHING THE ENERGY OF A THOUGHT
TRANSFORM INTO THE TANGIBLE MANIFESTATION OF CLOTH
My handweaving is a heartfelt expression of the otherwise ineffable. For almost 20 years now, I have come to the loom to find my voice. I am inspired by the mystical becoming of a thought, transforming into cloth. I love the colours, the patterns, and the ancient quality of the handloom. I love watching my hands create something, out of nothing.
Every piece I weave is the culmination of thousands of hours dedicated to my craft. All of my patterns are self-designed, materials are carefully sourced natural fibres, and each textile is handwoven in my studio. I produce collections in small quantities and offer them 1-2 times per year.
