About Chie Hitchner
My art seeks to explore the creative possibilities of a textile artist working only with very simple tools: Natural fiber, usually silk, a four-harness floor loom, pencil, paper, electric light, heat. Nothing more. I dye the fiber in small batches in my studio, using locally available natural materials whenever possible. Warp and weft ikat, and supplemental weft techniques, are employed extensively.
