Woven Pine, 2023
pine needles, cotton yarn
51 x 49 inches
Woven Pine is a large-scale textile woven on a digital Jacquard loom, embodying intentional manual disruptions within a technological framework. Handwoven "noise" and forged pine needles interrupt the rigid pixel-per-thread grid, crossing the boundaries between digital weaving and basketry. This interplay creates handwoven glitches that break grids and defy boundaries, merging digital precision with the organic irregularity of traditional craft. The work blurs the line between human touch and machine, celebrating the coexistence of control and disruption within the textile form with earthen forged materials.
