As a weaver; I get to see and be apart of the transformation of a white cone of yarn into a colorful, delicate, piece of fabric. Just recently I have been able to take that delicate piece of fabric giving it new life. By taking images of my woven work and coming up with new designs and compositions through photography and digitally manipulation, then having those designs and having them printed on a variety of different materials like paper, aluminum metal, and fabric.

Artist Bio/Statement: Textiles artist, Debbie Barrett-Jones left her small town in Iowa so she could pursue an education at the Kansas City Art Institute (KCAI) and since graduation, has exhibited her work throughout the United States, including the Kansas City area locations, such as; Children’s Mercy Hospital in North Kansas City, Truman Medical Center, Community Christian Church and Lead Bank in the Crossroads of Kansas City. Careful consideration goes into color, composition, and material in each of her weavings. Her work reveals the beautiful communication that is the result of one color thread intersecting another. Her panels are comprised of vibrating colors and elegant patterns which create a narrative in flux according to the viewer’s proximity to each piece. Along with weaving large-scale pieces for public and private spaces, she also creates intimate accessories such as scarves, shawls, and necklaces. Sitting at her loom and weaving has become Debbie’s safe place, her sanctuary. Thread by thread, beat by beat of the weaving loom while creating a piece of fabric, provides a meditative experience, which allows her to step away from everyday worries and fears. In the same way, she hopes her artwork inspires peace, hope and contemplation, serving as a beautiful distraction during our busy and chaotic lives.

The next step of Barrett-Jones’ studio investigation has the artist digitally recontextualizing her woven objects on metal, paper and fabric. In late 2017 Woven Repeat was launched, which is a new line of home decor, wallpaper, fabric and upholstery, Accessories, Activewear and more using original woven designs by Debbie Barrett-Jones.
