Weaver Christine Novotny identifies herself within a traditional lineage of weavers, but also sees herself as placed within a contemporary context and wants to keep weaving relevant for today. She draws heavily on her training as a painter to design the colorways of her weavings and finds the interactions of colors and design to be part of what keeps her process moving. She also has discovered the difference in commitment between painting and weaving. Painting has the capacity to change quickly with the whim of the artist, whereas weaving is a long term operation that requires a different planning scheme. Christine does a wonderful job balancing her painterly use of color with the long term progression of weaving.
