Artist Statement
We are a collaboration of two artist/weavers in the creation of hand-woven wool rugs. McCrystle is a painter/printmaker and Melissa is a weaver. Many threads influence our thinking and work. First and foremost is simply following the news, its influence on politics, social and cultural issues in the society. Our work observes society as a whole; questions about the future of the individual, the society, and the garden earth we share.
