Nature and music inspired Swiss weaver Silvia Heyden, a maker who embodied movement in vibrant tapestries now on view at Tribeca’s Charles Moffett Gallery. This panel, ‘Vortex (High Water),’ evokes the flow of rock-studded, shallow waters of the Eno River in North Carolina, where she settled for a time with her family. Though she created fiber works for over sixty years, Heyden made music with her violin for even longer and explained that as she played, she could visualize an interpretation of the music on the loom. (On view in Tribeca through June 7th).
