Working from her studios in Michigan and Pennsylvania, Enfoldme Fiber Design reflects the contemporary textile and fiber art of Rhonda Luckey. Drawing upon her early training as a weaver and garment maker, Rhonda explores techniques to create and recreate fabric using eco-printing, block printing, painting, sewing, weaving, and nunofelting. Her works are influenced by her early childhood living in Asia and Europe, where her mother immersed herself in the textile and floral artistry of Japanese, French, and Italian cultures. Rhonda’s techniques include Asian applications of shibori, sashiko, and Ikat weaving, along with eco-printing and silk painting.
Through Enfoldme Fiber Design, Rhonda seeks yutori, a concept in Japanese culture meaning "spaciousness" and "living the poem." She listens to the imaginal realm within while being immersed in colors and textures from nature.
