Item Description

"Warp Threads Only" by Tali Minelli

Medium: Cotton thread and glass beads

Size: 19" x 8"

Artist Statement:

My personal artwork is often inspired by my students' art assignments. Weaving is one of my favorite forms of fiber art. It is structured but allows a lot of freedom at the same time. As in one other past cod submission, I set out to create a woven cod. And once again, the first element led me to something quite different. The Woven Cod will have to wait for another time!

Artist Biography:

Tali Marcus Minelli was born in Jerusalem, Israel. She came to the United States as a child with her family for a sabbatical. As these things happen, the planned year turned into five, and while the rest of the family returned to Israel, Tali remained in the U.S. to complete her B.S. in Graphic Design at the University of Cincinnati. There, she met her husband of 31 years, Mark Minelli. After graduation, they relocated to the Boston area to pursue careers in Graphic Design, and then moved up the coast to Marblehead to start their family. Today, Tali is the proud mother of three grown children - Ari, Maia, and Noa. She is the founder and primary instructor at ThinkArt and is a published author of a children's art activity book. Tali divides her time between family, work with her husband at his mission-driven Boston branding firm, Minelli Inc., and mentoring students at ThinkArt, her art studio in Marblehead.
