James Koehler
James Koehler weaves his technically complex designs with meditative concentration. He finds serenity in the hypnotic process of passing the shuttle back and forth, just as he did in the rhythms of monastic life. Koehler left the monastery in 1987 and for the past 20 years he has dedicated his life to weaving. Koehler’s spiritual inspirations and philosophical musings are apparent in each design, simple or complex. The weavings themselves seem to radiate his contemplative energy.
