BEHIND THE COLLECTION
This collection began during our recent trip to the Philippines, when I found myself thinking about how quickly life moves, and how easy it is to miss the good parts while we’re actually living them. While staying in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, we were surrounded by mango orchards heavy with ripening fruit. Late afternoon was my favourite time, when deep greens softened into sage, the sky moved through pink and orange, and everything seemed to catch this beautiful golden light. There was a stillness to being there that made me appreciate the fullness of it all, while knowing that none of it would stay exactly as it was.
When we returned home, those memories followed me into the studio and became six one-of-one handwoven works. I kept thinking about the parts of life we often only understand the significance of once they’ve passed. Time with family, children at a certain age, or a place we may never experience in quite the same way again. I called the collection ‘WHILE WE’RE HERE’ because, for me, these works are about presence and appreciating when life feels full, even if only for a moment. Each piece carries something of that feeling, while leaving space for the person who lives with it to find their own memories and meaning within it. - Kass
