FINISHED! (FOR MARC)

I like this moment,
cutting the warp.
Just then I can unwrap the scarf from my loom
and see it completely.
Up till now it always were pleasant surprises...
Also this one :-)

ALMOST FINISHED!

WORKING ON...

Nr. 58!

LIBRARY OF DUST

Strange story, beautiful colors...

Photographs by David Maisel of the cremated remains of mental patients, stored in copper canisters on pine shelves.

“Over time . . . the canisters have begun to react chemically with the human ashes held inside them; this has thus created mold-like mineral outgrowths on the exterior surfaces of these otherwise gleaming cylinders.”

“. . . each canister holds a corpse – reduced to dust, certainly, burnt to handfuls of ash, sharing that cindered condition with much of the star-bleached universe, but still cadaverous, still human. What strange chemistries we see emerging here between man and metal. Because these were people; they had identities and family histories, long before they became nameless patients, encased in metal, catalytic.”

“Dust is a peculiar substance. Less a material in its own right, with its own characteristics or color, dust is a condition. It is the “result of the divisibility of matter,” Joseph Amato writes in his book Dust: A History of the Small and the Invisible. Dust is a potpourri of ingredients, varied to the point of indefinability.”

Working on the two big ones at the moment...

GEOMETRY OF CIRCLES

"Geometry of Circles" is a series of
unnumbered animation pieces created
for Sesame Street in 1979 with music by Philip Glass.

The shorts consist of the movement of six circles
(each with a different color of the rainbow)
that are formed by and split up into various geometric patterns.
