Tracing Threads of Collectivity

Exhibition Mediamatic, Amsterdam    
October 2021 

With our class from the Sandberg Instituut we had
an exhibition in Mediamatic, a cultural space in Amsterdam.

The loom I built, I call it thread space rather than a frame, stretches ist warp threads up to a wooden beam, responding to the architecture of the space. On the night of the opening we started weaving collectively. I started to weave from the bottom, in white cotton threads, the same material as the warp. I decided to restrict myself to only that material, the white cotton thread; it seems to me like a skeleton, building the main structure of this weaving in space.

I wanted my woven swatches to be invitations for fellow weavers to interweave with them, extend and respond to what I started.
