Miranda Fenty | Pleasant Hill, CA Crafts
My piece is a six-foot-long weaving made of yarn and recycled fabric. It depicts the sun setting behind a mountain because I find the colors of the sunset inspiring and beautiful. I wanted to portray the contrast between the stark form of the mountain, the organic shape of the foothills, and fluid progression of the sky. I was influenced by my grandparents; they live in the mountains where the landscape is both vibrant and serene. To choose fabric, I went to a thrift store and picked the garments whose colors and textures caught my attention. T his piece is a reflection of my growth this summer because I have never woven before, and I created a work of art that I am very proud of. Along with my Wearable Art, Ceramics, and Metals classes, I worked with new media and learned new skills and ways to interpret art in my Weaving class. Attending the UArts Pre-College program has helped me to realize that I want to major in crafts in college and that there is an entire world of art for me to explore.
