Welcome to callingminerva designs portfolio
Hand spinner and textile artist SWhittle works primarily with raw fibers to create touchable pieces of art. Using traditional spinning, weaving
and basketry techniques with modern materials infuses new energy into ancient methods. The pieces, whether jewelry or non
functioning art, are all excitingly tactile and beg to be touched. The
pieces juxtapose the shiny cool feel of wires with the matte warmth of
fibres as they play on the mysterious way light is reflected and
absorbed. The
quest for simplicity and elegance of form begins in the fibre selection
itself.
Its layers of colours create a feeling of depth, which must find a
balance
between pattern and movement. The variety of fibres available and the
richness of their colours make it the perfect material to
experiment and work with. This medium is positively inspiring.
