Adrienne Lee's Painted Sky Textiles

Lovely landscapes can be rendered in paint on canvas, but Chicago-based artist Adrienne Lee does it with a loom and yarn. The result has extra depth and texture that makes it come aline. Lee thinks like an artist when selecting the perfect image to recreate, in choosing the different fibers for the different elements, and planning the vibrant colors. Then she thinks like an engineering when weaving the work line by line, pixel by pixel. The landscapes may be real places, or may be a combination of places as she designs her reference photos, or may be entirely a fantasy.

The result highlights the diversity of nature, from leaves of grass to a bright sunset. My Modern Met has an interview with Lee about how she weaves these gorgeous landscapes, plus a gallery of images.
