Listen "Sarah Haskell - Loose Thread: Let It Be Dangling"
Episode Synopsis
Let the loose thread be dangling! Born and raised in New England, Sarah Haskell has a BFA in Textile Design from RISD and a Masters of Art and Healing from Wisdom University. As a seeker, maker and creative pathfinder her medium is most often thread, investigating the mystery of encoded fabrics and the hidden language of cloth.Sarah talks about the soothing nature of weaving, the importance of community involvement, how the natural world and its objects (rocks, shells, pinecones) speak to her, and making work that you yourself need to see. Sarah uses embroidery, weaving, and natural dyes to explore personal truth and universal wisdom. I love how she describes her obsession as taking separate objects and putting them together in an organized structure that other people can respond to. She creates a structure from things that are chaotic.Takeaways:A sketchbook is a repository for your dreams, thoughts and ideas - all of it, everything!Weaving is a full body process.Thread is elemental- almost like DNA.Approach everything with an awareness of all the things we can see and those that we cannot.Make the work you need.Find a way to raise up all the boats in the harbor.Take off the backpack of self-doubt and keep forging ahead.Sarah HaskellSarah Haskell on InstagramSarah Haskell on FacebookMolly Meng
