A piece of cloth woven using Recording Interface for Pair Of Weavers. The weaving documents the loom’s debut at the 2024 VCUArts GDES Senior Exhibition. I sat and wove with 26 people over the course of the week, and this cloth is a direct translation of the time spent and the conversations had with each of them.
The cloth is a proof of concept of the loom’s ability to act as a tool for capturing physical records of place and community, and served as a learning experience for all involved.
Technical information:
Warp/Weft: 10/2 cotton, all wefts dyed by Justin Cockrell
Sett: 24epi
2 blocks of improvised treadlings on a 4-shaft straight draw.
