Come along for a peaceful hike in a snowy forest, listen to some chill, minimal techno beats, and weave a tapestry inspired by the trees.
You can check out the artwork here, and listen to more Zeita II Reticuli here and here.
Griffith Woods is an awesome park in Calgary, Alberta, which also borders Tsuu T'ina Nation. There are loads of wooded paths, and little tributaries of the Elbow River run through the park here and there. Even though it's part of the city a walk there can have that real feeling of a nature hike, especially on a calm wintry day.
I wasn't planning on making a video this day, but the snow was so pretty I decided to shoot this on my phone (hence the weird iPhone 11 Pro light warbling in spots - sorry!).
After I got home I flipped through my photos to decide what artwork to make, and the photo of the trees felt like the right inspiration, and something cozy like weaving felt like the right vibe. The tapestry is hung on a piece of driftwood inherited from my dad - the warp string was passed down to me from him too - and the rest of the yarn is also second-hand. It was a really fun little piece to weave, reflecting on the beautiful walk in the woods.
