Abstract

Lake Street Weavings is a series of five small woven textiles. Their colorful compositions are inspired by my surroundings and reflect the gridded American landscape. I am enamored by the relationship of these grids to woven structure. In this series, I transform colossal grids from our landscape into small woven textiles. I attempt to capture the character of my environment and translate these qualities into weavings. Through Lake Street Weavings, I hope to express my movement through the world as a complex matrix of place and time. The series is also exhibited with a large scale wall hanging, Suspended Function, and a woven accordion book, Night and Day. These additional works explore the same themes as Lake Street Weavings, while emphasizing scale in different ways.
