Hi Michaëlle! It was delightful to speak to you about personal histories & archives and their intersection at your weaving practice--cannot wait to see what you get up to next!
Weaving on: Lou Joining us from: Montreal, Canada Tell us about yourself and what led you to the residency? I recently graduated from Concordia where we have a huge Samtex Jacquard loom and honestly fell in love with jacquard looms. I really wanted to experience another type of jacquard and meet more weavers outside of Canada. Have you had any previous experience with Digital Weaving or Jacquard? Yes, I worked for the past years on the Samtex Jacquard look at Concordia and right before the Praxis residency, I had the opportunity to work at LMRM on their 4W TC2. Was truly a great experience and lovely meetings. Any goals for the residency you'd like to share? I honestly just want to enjoy myself and try long portraits/silhouettes from archives.

Jackie, we are so grateful you came such a long way to spend time here in Collinwood & experiment on our looms! And so happy you brought Audrey--what a magical little two weeks for the both of you!
Weaving on: Collin Joining us from: Melbourne, Australia Tell us about yourself and what led you to the residency? I am an a multidisciplinary visual artist and curator in Melbourne. My artworks address the relationship of technological simulation to lived experience. I focus upon contemporary perception, publicly contested space, historical memory and empathy. I completed my PhD 'Loss in a simulated environment' at VCA, University of Melbourne and undertook research in fabrication at RCA, London. My PhD focuses on photogrammetry and the kinds of perception that emerge through its processes. I am excited to realize 3D works in textiles during the residency at Praxis. Have you had any previous experience with Digital Weaving or Jacquard? A little through Praxis online workshops, which have been excellent. I have worked with Silver Reed knitting machines in the past. Any goals for the residency you'd like to share? I plan to experiment with translating my 3d works into textiles to create installations for exhibition. The connection between jacquard and the development of computing is fascinating and I will be thinking about how they relate. See more of Jackie on Instagram @jacqueline_felstead |
