TextileArtist.org: What initially attracted you to textiles as a medium? Mary Fisher: What a great question! The truth is, I fell into textiles during my high school years because there was a loom available to me, and a teacher who showed me how to use it. Sitting at the loom was magic for me. When I had spare time, and when I was in class I would weave and fall in love with the rhythm of making textiles.
