Tapestries by Sue Weil will be on exhibition at MAGC, displaying colorful weavings that conjure places and people. In the words of the artist, feeling that often less is more, my designs are intentionally spare, exploring rhythm and asymmetry in bold compositions. Weaving attracts me for its simplicity: two opposing sets of threads twining together to create a whole. Working at the loom provides me the opportunity to sit in the stillness of my thoughts, allowing my hands to think.
Sue Weil is a tapestry artist living in Northern California. Originally creating one-of-a-kind fabric to use in her line of women’s fashion, she turned her focus to tapestry in 2011. Sue earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Anthropology from Harvard University. Combining her interests in anthropology and art, Sue is especially drawn to weaving’s cultural universality.
