Artist in Residence at Arteles Creative Center, Hämeenkyrö, Finland
2 - 30 August 2018
During my time at Arteles I explored tapestry weaving techniques as a method for drawing. Working intuitively, I unearthed vibrant patterns from a foundation of monochromatic lines. Each shift of direction these horizontal wefts take culminated in an optical pattern, disrupting the linear surface of the drawing. As these patterns pulsed ephemerally atop the solid black and white surface, they allowed an in-between space to come forth and be perceived as an entity.
