Gigi, it was great to have you back at Praxis! It was interesting to learn about captcha images and watch you tackle that 36 yard warp!!
Weaving on: Lou Joining us from: Stoughton, WI Tell us about yourself and what led you to the residency? I graduated in 2023 from SAIC's Fiber & Material Studies program, which is blessed with three (!!) TC2 looms. That's how I became addicted to the funnest, most instantly gratifying, and totally impractical machine! My background is in photography, and my weaving interests are mostly new finding ways to articulate photographic content on the loom. I jokingly called myself "the human inkjet printer" in an Instagram post and it kind of stuck - the past few years I've been developing a system of weaving in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) yarn, the same colors a printer uses. Have you had any previous experience with Digital Weaving or Jacquard? I'm a previous Praxis resident and have been eagerly awaiting another opportunity to use the looms! When this opportunity came up, I jumped! Any goals for the residency you'd like to share? Since I have previous experience and a set of weaving structures I've been tinkering with, my goals are mostly to get in there and produce. My MFA thesis piece was a nine-by-nine-foot weaving, and I'm hoping to make it a friend. Connect with Gigi via instagram @bytethehand, Website: gigigastevich.com
