C-prints and Jacquard-woven cotton & wool
Beginning with a photocopy of a blank sheet of paper, I repeatedly copied the original pattern until the visual static constructed a dynamic pattern. The final
image was translated through pattern-making software, woven on a computer-assisted Jacquard loom, and the cloth finally cut and sewn into a scarf.
Simultaneously, the photocopier and Jacquard loom assume significant roles in the process and production of the pattern by mechanizing and materializing
a conceptual gesture into a wearable object.
