Michaëlle Sergile

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.
