The Weaving Mill LOOMSTATE

LOOMSTATE refers to the condition of a fabric as it comes off the loom: warp and weft just recently interlaced, a system of relationships between vertical and horizontal just established. The piece isn't finished but the terms have been set. The fabric coming off the loom feels like the end of something, and it is. But it's also a beginning. Weaving is a line and also a loop. LOOMSTATE asks us to see the reality of a cloth, but differently animated; to see the difference between subtle and gross movements; to see the actions and objects that accumulate around and contribute to the cloth itself. Cloth as starting point and ending point. Or just a point.
