Weavers

Philip Singer


I studied printmaking at the university level before I found myself at the loom. Attention to detail, precision and accuracy are key for printmaking. Then add patience and I am ready to weave. This is the foundation I use when weaving. Are my edges straight? Are my designs looking like what I envisioned?

The mountains, mesas, sand dunes, ocean, vegetation, clouds in the sky, and the ever-changing light visually transforms all things I see. In some instances, a current event or stories associated with Navajo weaving have helped me produce a tapestry conveying the story.
