weaving with constraints


In absence of studio and away from the loom weaving didn’t stop. New constraints, of format and time, where formed. Sketches and doodles. A memo, a problem, a solution and a praise. A sort of diary. Wordless thoughts visualised in the poetry of the thread. For a digital documentation, needed especially in covid-times, I choose to scan my pieces. Something happens in the action of scanning versus taking a photo of my woven work. When scanning the objects the information is read and transformed, line by line. Like a text. Like woven cloth.
