Script III is an original fine art textile, handwoven by Leila Walter of Crosspolynations studio.

The Script series is a deeply intuitive collection of art textiles. These pieces respond directly and intuitively to the material and process of handweaving, letting go of preconceived notions and being fully present and immersed in the medium. Lines enter, change direction, intersect with one another and then fade away as a dance, in communion with the process: a bobbin runs out, the warp moves forward, a knot appears, a thread snaps. The completed cloth becomes an archive of process, a meandering of thought, of time and yarn, woven together in conversation.

This piece was woven by hand using locally sourced & vintage fibres.

South African Cotton, Wool, Hand Spun Mohair

"I am the proud owner of two beautiful Crosspolynations shawls. One accompanies me to yoga, and wraps me on summer days. It is woven from the softest cotton thread and is finely detailed in ochre. The other, my 'second skin' is my constant companion, light and warm, an unusual combination of soft cotton and wool. The natural colouring of warm cream and a gentle burnt Sienna is hi lighted with strands of russet mohair. This beauty once fell out of my car in Parkview Johannesburg, for days I searched and asked each shop owner and everyone on the street.... 4 days later an angel car guard named Chiro returned to the area and there it was, neatly folded in his modest back pack, he had kept it safely for me. It's a treasure! Many thanks to Leila and her fine artistry. a hand woven cloth carries the essence of its maker." - Louise Almon
