Description:

 Using weaving as a practice of somatic mediation between analog and digital technology, this course explores the theoretical implications of complex weave structures as they relate to image, pattern, materiality, language, and the body. Using weaving design software in conjunction with multi-harness and computer-assisted looms, students are investigate the dimensional and pictorial potentials for abstraction in "block" weaves, the poetic nuance of narrative in "summer and winter" structures, and the interplay of color and structure in “color and weave.” Research, readings, and discussion on both written and visual works of art expand the rhetoric and relevance of contemporary textile practices.At the 2000 level this course is open to students in ALL majors without previous experience or prerequisites. Continuing and advanced students at the 3000 level focus on developing content and skill through in-depth investigations.
