       Houses for Nomads is a set of tapestries, created around the experiences of a month long trip to the Amdo and Kham regions, populated by the nomadic Tibetan yak herders. We visited small villages, nomadic encampments and were able to attend festivals that were led by shamans, celebrating their mountain gods and the coming harvest, as well as Nomad and Horse festivals. Most moving of all were the fields of prayer flags, placed where the wind would carry the printed prayers on, and left until they were threads, a moving acknowledgment of the impermanence of all things.
