Supernatural Beings Art Print by Robert Davidson (Haida)

Supernatural Beings Design:Can formline be woven? This question sparked Supernatural Beings, a powerful print by Robert Davidson. In his exploration of this topic, he spoke with several weavers. Some weavers were interested in trying, while others said it couldn't be done. These conversations led to the creation of Supernatural Beings, which is Davidson's rendition of integrating formline into the shape of a northwest coast woven robe or apron.

"Supernatural Beings is one of two designs that I did based on a discussion with artist/weaver Cheryl Samuel about pushing the design possibilities for robes and aprons. I received feedback from the weavers that it could not be done but also interest from some who were willing to try." - Robert Davidson
