Hi Gigi!
Weaving on: Lou Joining us from: Madison, Wisconsin Tell us about yourself and what led you to the residency? I graduated this May with my MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the Fiber & Materials Studies department. While at SAIC, I had the immense privilege of working on TC-2 looms under the tutelage of (among many others) Melissa Leandro, Kate Smith, and Danielle Andress. My previous background is in photography, and I came to a fibers program specifically to figure out new, tactile ways of rendering photographic content -- because of that and my interest (okay, obsession) with found digital media and certain internet rabbit holes, the TC-2 loom is a wildly invigorating tool. Have you had any previous experience with Digital Weaving or Jacquard? Unfortunately, yes -- now I am addicted :) Any goals for the residency you'd like to share? I am hoping to continue my series of renderings of Google reCAPTCHA images (the little squares with stoplights, bicycles, etc that you click on to verify you're not a robot when you submit a form on the internet). I screenshot these tiny images and enlarge them into large-scale weavings. Follow Gigi on Instagram @ggastevich, or check out her website! www.gigigastevich.com
