Judith Poxson Fawkes was a prolific, talented artist whose work has been widely exhibited since the 1960s, and whose medium was weave. Her work is in numerous public and private collections, and includes over 50 commissioned tapestries. In Weaving a Chronicle, Judith takes us on a chronological journey through the elaborate tapestries produced in her long career, describing the circumstances and sometimes the techniques behind each piece. Her work has been inspired by the grid of the loom, Bauhaus, Renaissance tapestries, Italian gardens, and light and water, as well as the weather in Portland, Oregon, where she lived and worked. Described as tapestries and designed for display on a wall, these handwoven works were produced on a shaft loom using techniques that included double and triple weave, inlay and pattern weaving. Judith's loom features in tapestries throughout her working life, appearing early on in her Shadows series and 25 years later in Summer Solace.
