Connie Lippert is a weaver from South Carolina who specializes in the Navaho Wedge Weave, a demanding technique that dates back to the 1870’s.
The artist writes:
“I obtain my colors with natural dyes mainly indigo, madder, goldenrod, black walnut and marigold. As a result, I have become aware of the rich local history of indigo, once considered blue gold in the state of South Carolina, where I live. I grow and use fresh indigo for some of my indigo dyeing.
My work celebrates nature and the spirit that reveres the natural world a world I fear we are losing. My message is one of environmental respect and protection.”
Connie Lippert will be represented at this year’s Convergence conference.
