black women in fiber

Black Women in Fiber - black womanist visuals celebrations between fiber art, artist, human, and spirit.

Black Woman in Fiber is a sacred and intimate calling and connection between a black woman’s skin and spirit. Each piece of fiber is made carefully and designed by the guides of the ancestors of Linnea Poole. The fiber visuals are worn and designed in forms of Habatai silks, indigo dyes, and colorful raw tulle. Each black woman that is photographed is not told or is placed into any particular poses, they are all told to react to the fiber and their actions are captured through the lens.
