A beautiful ombre paper textile to accent a wall in your home!

Alyson Ainsworth is a New York City-based weaver whose work explores overcoming traditional limitations of the loom. Through the use of materials, hand manipulations, and complex weave structure, she creates wovens that combine new techniques with the familiar. She is interested in pushing the boundaries of weaving as a discipline—from both art and design perspectives—and exploring the connection of functional and aesthetic textiles in the process. Ainsworth studied textiles at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). She has worked in the interiors textile industry for over a decade and is currently the Master Weaver at Chilewich where she develops woven designs for residential, hospitality, and contract markets.
