She uses structure to shape her weaves into different shapes and forms to represent something.
I found this method inspiring, as I wanted to recreate the flower, curved shape of Marilyn Monroe's white dress from 'The Seven Year Itch'. For creating structure and shape like her work, I used wire as a base and then wool for the texture.
Weaving is a very traditional method that has been round for centuries to create fabric. Usually it would be the woman's job to create fabric by using a loom. Looms have developed over the years, and have now become powered machines (like the knitting machines).
