June Swindell's custom window treatments reveal her experimentation with hand-weaving processes which contrast dense and sheer areas, and materials which absorb, reflect, and filter light in unique ways. Horsehair, formerly used for staid, durable, and uncomfortable upholstery, gives a tribal effect here.
