This article looks at the restoration of Timberline Lodge textiles from the perspective of postmodernism, where fact and fiction trade places, and representation becomes reality through the mirror of shared perceptions. We will see how certain materials themselves become less important than the experience they are meant to convey. It is a story of ingenuity, adaptation, and image-crafting using the language of textiles to create a sense of place like no other.
