Fake News is a piece developed while contemplating the implications of main stream media.

It represents the idea that social media platforms and internet algorithms bring like minded content to your screens over and over, making it difficult to see and understand alternate perspectives. Instead people get caught up in this stream of "news" that matches their preconceived notions.

It is up to us to break away from this easy content and investigate alternate perspectives; explore the backside of the weaving if you will!

 

Erika Hewston, Milford, PA

Erika Hewston is a textile artist from Reading, Pennsylvania who focuses in weaving.  She creates richly colored textural wall hangings as well as fine woven wearable scarves and ties

 

*SPECIAL RATE ITEM: Shipping is a flat rate of $25, if you are ordering other items this will be charged on top of the standard shipping.  However, if we can fit all items into one box we will reimburse you the difference.  Please call if you have any questions about shipping for this and other items!

“I work primarily as a handweaver making both fine woven wearables and texturally saturated wall pieces.  All of my work focuses on the interaction of vibrant colors to create striking statement pieces.  My scarves and ties are all comprised of cotton, bamboo rayon, and tencel to ensure a soft product with beautiful drape.  My wall pieces are a mixture of any fibrous materials I can gather within the desired color range: cotton, fleece, felt, twine, tule, acrylic, burlap, and others.  This vast array of materials allows me to create pieces that are immersed in texture creating both a visual and tactile exploration for the viewer.”
