Abstract
This series of weavings creates a sensory experience that heightens an awareness of tactility created by phenomenological movements of wave patterns. These works are influenced by my interest in swimming. Dynamic actions such as floating, diving, splashing, bending, and submerging provide inspiration for the development of the undulating structural transformation of the weave patterns. These rhythms vibrate with motion, color, and are meant to provide an immersive experience through their optical physicality. Similar to the action of swimming, directional forces and elasticity are at play, intersect and break up with moments of activity and rest.
