"DuBois weaves a temporary weft fabric in black mercerized cotton thread and creates images on one or both of its sides by either clamp-resist dyeing or stencil printing with dischage chemicals…'When the images first appear in the temporary fabrics, they are surprising — so many variations from so few basic clamped shapes. They suggest a range of themes, which then influence the reweaving.' After thoroughly rinsing and drying the temporary cloth, she unravels the resist-dyed weft yarn from it. Using the patterned yarn as a supplementary weft, she weaves a cloth with strips of bark cloth, paper, silk noil, or bast fibers. In the re-weaving process, the original images are transformed in unexpected ways."
