Thomas Roach

In my textile work I specialize in Vestments and installations for public and private spiritual practice. My work celebrates materials and processes while searching for deeper meaning through cloth. I am keenly interested in the power of cloth to absorb and radiate meaning, spirit and transcendence. Teaching and telling stories with and about cloth are important parts of both my spiritual and my studio practice.
