The Latin word for text, texere, means to weave. However, conveying the world, truly palpable with a pair of weaving-hands, is beyond the grasp of words. Weaving speaks from the whole to the whole, whereas words cannot rid themselves of politics seeded in every verbal perspective. On the other hand, without words the unitive wisdom of weaving will remain hidden, dark, and mute.

I rely on peripheral aspects of writing such as syntax, formatting of text on a page, and hyphenated words – as well as different types of writing including poetry, distilled-text, and prose – to create a multi-sensory experience. The tactile elements of writing, when combined with different genres, bring a synthesis that bypasses linear thinking and enters the open space of a process. into enlightened understanding.

Read My Blog
Each of my weavings is inspired rather than planned. Ideas go through an imagining and designing phase—not unlike falling in love. This emotion opens my imagination to new ideas. I quickly capture them in my journal where they evolve into themes for tapestries. Setting up the loom and weaving is the marriage between imagination and manifestation.


Listen to Suzanne's Perspective.

Silent Oratory: A Weaver Speaks

There is no designated language for expressing the experience of living in the web of life. This book is a companion to the tapestry series called by the same name. The textiles communicate vital aspects of the unseen world which resemble the whole-oriented principles of weaving. Thus, I experience the unseen with the process of weaving. I combine poetry, distilled-texts, artistic expression, and an essay to stimulate a textural intellectual understanding. I make the point: a process-based perspective is missing in a world that mainly relies on the written medium but is also increasingly being controlled by dominant discourses that use words. A process-based perspective could show the way to an alternative to a world divided by words whose medium compares, contrasts, and separates.

The Weaver’s Journal

The Weaver’s Journal fills the need for a way to imagine weaving one’s tapestry of life. Our lives are considered tapestries but rarely discussed is how to weave them. The Weaver’s Journal was inspired by the Life-Weaving tapestry series of 12 woven diaries. With this idea in mind I created the Journal. It is a special book where you strategize which life-saving pattern you will use to address a stress—related to an ever-changing world. Finding the right pattern—in time, is how to prevent a tear in your tapestry of life. This life-weaving process is fully explained in the introduction. There is a calendar with no dates, simply blank pages for journaling. You can begin life-weaving any month of the year. The twelve months of the year are announced by an image of one of the 12 free-form constructions from the Life-Weaving tapestry series.


The Unwritten Book: An Organic Personal Conscious Evolution

The Unwritten Book: An Organic Personal Conscious Evolution makes a powerful case for the goodness and influence that our simple humanity could have on every major crisis that the world faces today. Our great mystery: we sense a deeper purpose and we intuit a quality of being which feels universal, whole, love-guided, and eternal. We all long to be seen, heard, and accepted for who we truly are. This deep recognition begins with our own healing and expanding—an organic personal conscious evolution from trauma, pain, and being misunderstood. What if we trust and have faith in the experience of what environmental philosopher Baird Callicott explains is the truth about the web of life—all species, including us, are literally constituted by its context. This is both who we truly are and it is the fabric that connects and sustains us all.
