meeting point

In my project, I wove cloth sheets: I chose the threads, determined their length, threaded, tightened, connected, and repeated these actions time and time again. The repetitive rhythm created the thread combination that was right for me; the cotton was influenced and absorbed the different actions of my hands, and the metal captured the collection of sensations that ran through me. At certain moments, I felt the gap between the pace of my surroundings, fast and forced, to my natural pace, one with the flora and living things and the repetition of the seasons from which the rhythm of my hands derives. When the time came to remove the cloth sheets from the loom and release them to the world, I felt they expressed the quiet and order I learned from the weaving action that I will now base it on the body, that being done through language of lengths, knots, and meeting points. Materials: cotton thread, metal thread (copper, brass, iron), wood. Working techniques: carpentry (building tools and looms from wood), weaving, sewing by hand, knitting.
