10 Failed Circles, Handwoven Jacquard cotton, 26 x 26 inches each, 2021

This body of work takes advantage of aspect ratio conundrums inherent to the translation of digital imagery into physical cloth.

10 Failed Circles, Handwoven Jacquard cotton, 52 x 34 inches, 2021

This textile was woven using a simple drawing program designed by the artist while in residency at the Crow's Shadow Institute for the Arts in Pendleton, OR. The software is inspired a historic computer graphics issue, in which programmers have attempted to mimic the naturally occurring phenomenon of overlapping shadows from multiple light sources generating progressively darker shadows.
