Abstract Details

2015, MFA, Kent State University, College of the Arts / School of Art.
Snapshots serve as markers of time and place. They record people and places as a way to preserve memories of significant events or landmarks. In this series of weavings I collage images from photographs as a means to capture a sense of grief generated by the loss of my brother. As a special person who shared so much in my past I wanted to preserve his memory, and my response to his absence, through commemoration in weaving. Digitally generated compositions are made tangible through the process of making the cloth, serving as both a concrete and abstract connection with time. They are meant to create a narrative in remembrance of my deceased brother, Gregory Trevor Benade (1975-2013).
