Woven Fields

Series

Bodies – of knowledge, code, atoms and cells – are activated in a meditative process of weaving newborn products into absorbing monochromatic grids. A visceral and sensory load, the taut soft surfaces evoke tissue and skin: permeable membranes for human function. At once wall, substrate, and performance piece, the woven grid has an internal operating system, where hundreds of ready-mades are transformed into being-mades – absorbing moisture and body heat, slowly swelling and receding, dampening noise, and loading space with intent. Though environmentally unsustainable – taking an estimated 500 years to breakdown in landfill – these 'disposable works' defy art conservation norms and outlast generational lifecycles. Across these emotive substrates, feelings of vulnerability, nakedness, and care vascillate, as the immersive fields reckon with the future of the Anthropocene.
