"Interlaced' is a building card project inspired by the histories of New England's former textile mills. Reflecting on its industrial foundations and their impact on manufacturing, craft, labor, and early American identity, this work delves into these narratives through animation and shadowplay.
Drawing connections between weaving and barrier-grid animation the sculptures reveal their narrative through movement and light, allowing viewers to observe the alternation of lines that create animated illusions. These illusions draw on motifs of water, steam, and textile patterns to evoke its factory setting.
Designed with a modular aspect, the building card format enable viewers to create their own variations of the narrative, fostering a personal connection to the historical themes.
This project was completed in residency at The Factory on Willow - Manchester, NH.
