We are the Weavers, and We are the Woven Ones
ABOUT LITA LOVESTONE
Hi!! I'm Lita and I'm passionate about weaving.
I create wall hangings and wearable art pieces on traditional floor looms, using all natural fibers. I love creating things both contemporary and yet timeless through the ancient art of weaving.
With 25 years of devotion to this path, I blur the boundaries between fine art and craft, transforming cloth into portals of the Divine.
The first moment I was introduced to a loom I knew instantly that I needed to become a weaver. And not just dabble in it but be a weaver for life. There is something infinitely fascinating about the process of taking a bunch of yarn and turning it into cloth. I love the combination of artistry and technicality that comes together in the act of weaving. It tickles my brain in all the right ways, and I sincerely hope my pieces tickle some delight in you also!
The focus of my work is creating cloth with layers of intention and meaning. Some of my intricate designs are the result of literally embedding codes based on words, prayers, and mantras, into the patterns of the fabric. I have also been exploring geometric art and my recent body of work has been combining my handwoven textiles with geometric forms and sacred geometry.
Each piece I make explores the interplay of structure and improvisation. My designs are meticulously planned out before the weaving begins and yet I always leave some space for unplanned spontaneous creation to happen at the loom. In this modern world of cookie-cutter consumption, I feel a driving force to counteract the meaningless mass production with one of a kind hand made textiles filled with intention and layers of meaning in every step of the process.
Although I'm based in Mexico, I can ship internationally. If a piece speaks to you, let's talk about how we can make it yours. For inquiries about purchasing a piece, commissions and collaborations, contact me.
