Angela Pau is a British born fiber artist. After a lengthy career as a floral designer in the U.K, New York and Los Angeles She relocated to Joshua Tree, California.
Her move to the high desert shifted her creativity from flowers to fiber.
Self taught, her work is informed by the surrounding nature, its textures and colors. Pieces are woven on a tapestry loom, rigid heddle loom or entirely by hand utilizing techniques from macrame, crochet and knitting.
The slow, meditative nature of one-of-a-kind weavings provide a contrast to our fast paced modern life and mass produced goods. She strives to use only minimally processed, natural fibers honoring the materials and embracing the beauty of imperfection.
Using almost all natural fibers helps maintain the connection to nature. The vast majority of the cotton is recycled and most wools are left un-dyed or minimally processed wherever possible. Along with cotton and wool, linen, jute, hemp and manila also feature widely in her work.
Inspiration is found in many places but nature is so often the starting point. It is grounding, it forces you to slow down and breathe it in. From the stunning desert landscape to the simplicity of single leaf, its shapes, colors and textures are the driving force behind most pieces.
