Junípero Serra Museum

$0.00

Created for the Junípero Serra Museum, this suspended textile installation explores the relationship between light, water, and landscape through woven silk. Draped from the upper balcony of the museum’s central space, the piece was designed to evoke sunlight filtering through the ocean and into a kelp forest below.

Handwoven from silk, the work uses layered color, translucency, and movement to mimic the shifting qualities of underwater light. Soft gradients of blues, greens, golds, and muted violets reference the way sunlight refracts beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, while the elongated vertical form recalls the drifting movement of kelp suspended in water.
