In addition to their large-scale frame loom works, Lauren and Kass incorporate Japanese SAORI weaving into their practice. Rooted in self-expression, spontaneity, and embracing imperfections, SAORI allows them to weave freely, without predetermined patterns or rigid constraints. This approach fosters play and experimentation, encouraging a dialogue between traditional techniques and contemporary interpretations. At times, their SAORI weavings merge with frame loom pieces, resulting in multidimensional works that push the boundaries of conventional fibre art.

As the sisters enter motherhood, they enter a new phase of life with shifting roles as not only siblings but also Mums and Aunts. Weaving has become a way of returning to themselves and reclaiming their identity amidst these new, often demanding, roles. It is a way of channeling their experiences of both hardship and joy. By celebrating resilience and the beauty of imperfection, 'Crossing Threads' has become a tapestry of heritage, connection, and creative exploration. Watch as each thread reveals the power of art to heal and inspire.
