On Loom: 2

Tell us about yourself and what led to the Residency?

I graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2024 with a BFA in fibers. Throughout my time at college, I was drawn to the TC2 as a vehicle to connect my drawing and weaving practices. Over time, however, the machine became more than a way to combine my own practices: it became a practice in and of itself with its own special language. With the TC2, I was able to merge photographic images with a variety of weave structures to create pieces that give life to my most precious memories. Praxis was a great opportunity to continue to explore my practice and experiment on the TC2.

Have you had any previous experience with Digital Weaving or Jacquard?

I wove on a TC2 at MICA for three years, and was the student technician for the loom my last year of college.

Any goals for the residency you'd like to share?

I wanted to make a stuffed double cloth weaving and make a 3weft waffle structure.
