- Never the Same River utilizes a number of tapestry patterns to create an abstract flow of a river. Some patterns resemble rocks and sand, others provide the fluidity of the water., H. Wilson; ashland or; never the same river; 1981; sewn tapestry; 1981, Helen Wilson received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon. Thereafter she studied fine arts and crafts at numerous institutions in California before landing in Boulder, Colo., to teach craft and art seminars to college and high school students. In 1973, a fire destroyed Wilson’s home and studio, prompting her to return to the Northwest and Ashland. The oldest of four children, Wilson was born in Salina, Kan., grew up on a farm in Chehalis, Wash., and in her resumé expresses the importance of the woods of Washington state in her view of life. Many of her tapestries had a natural theme that may relate back to this era. “Lush complexity marked those landscapes, and this is how I visualize and express nature today,” Wilson wrote in a recent resume.
