a thailand color story

yarn, spinning fiber, & hand-dyed cotton
Collection of the US Embassy Chiang Mai, Thailand
Inspired by the photography color stories I captured during my 2019 trip to Thailand.
In July 2019, my journey through Bangkok and Phuket, Thailand, became an immersive color study as I photographed the vibrant world around me. I traveled with friends and was drawn to the beautiful details and exchanges surrounding me throughout our adventures. Through my lens, I captured the essence of many moments—documenting inspiring colors, patterns, shapes, compositions, elements, movement, and textures. After returning home, I found unexpected joy in organizing these photographs by color and discovering new relationships and harmonies. This weaving emerges from three photographs in that series, translating their visual language of color, texture, and shape into fiber. The piece interweaves rich golds, burnt oranges, deep greens, and bold magentas. Through this transformation from photograph to woven form, I've created a tactile memory of that journey.
