Into the Deep Forest
Light is cast into the deep forest,
and shines again on green moss.
–Wang Wei (from “Deer Enclosure“)
It’s National Design Week at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, and one of the honorees this year is textile artist Jack Lenor Larsen. This grid is inspired by one of his weavings. It reminded me of the light in a forest, and Wang Wei’s poem reflects that feeling beautifully.

Hi Kerfe, You have placed the light perfectly, I like how you’ve used the brown bag paper, which resembles bark. Beautifully conceived.

It’s actually hand made paper. I was looking mostly at the color with the greens, but the texture does resemble bark, now that you mention it.

Beautiful hand made paper. I was zooming in on my iPad to get a very close look at all the colors and textures.

I get scraps from a paper maker in Brooklyn, Carriage House Paper. Always an interesting selection.

Very nice, years ago I worked near an interior decorator studio and they would give me their fabric swatch books each season. They were with silks, linens, brocades etc.
