Description
My current body of work foregrounds the hidden beauty in microelectronics, the power of Big Tech, and my ambivalence toward rapid technological change. My geometric weavings combine the characteristic lines and shapes found on circuit board assemblies with text, digital art aesthetics, and the design language of traditional rugs and tapestries. The work begins with a design I create using drawing, Photoshop, and generative software. I weave an interpretation of the design on a loom using a wide range of materials, capitalizing on the binary system of the grid to interpret the digital original. This work sits where the analog confronts the digital, where textile practice serves as a bridge between our technological obsessions our desire for warmth and materiality in our surroundings.About this Artist
