"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 play and experimentation.
By connecting weaving with barrier-grid animation, the sculptures are activated 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 a 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.
