Silk! Just the word invokes intrigue and fantasies of lavish mounds
of richly hued fabrics. The journey of metamorphosis from
caterpillar to silken luxury is miraculous. Textile artist Karen
Selk delves into the amazing world of wild silk and the Indigenous
people of India who raise the wild silkworms. You'll be drawn into
the captivating world of a unique living culture that has been
engaged in a sustainable industry for generations. Photos and
anecdotes captured from weavers, spinners, and silkworm farmers
transport you into their homes and villages to get an up-close look
at the intimate connection to the skill, dedication, and
specialized tools and techniques the artisans use to transform
cocoons into yarn and luxurious fabrics. This little-known industry
not only provides us with resplendent cloth but improves our
environment and provides a sustainable income, allowing families
and communities to stay together while preserving a way of life.
