Recording Interface for Pair of Weavers
Recording Interface for Pair of Weavers is a tool. The loom is intentionally designed for use by two people, weaving side by side simultaneously. Stemming from research into the archival and record keeping potential of handwoven cloth, the loom acts as an interface for the recording of an interaction between two people. The 8-shaft direct-tieup loom is a hybrid of many designs, but is unique in its focus not on the actual cloth it produces, but on what that cloth represents. This loom is not made for efficiency, for productivity, for practicality, or for profit. It’s a tool for documentation, archiving, and spending time with one another, creating something together. It takes a village, and I would like to thank Justin, Annie, Elsie, Eileen, Hillary, Mishari, Joe, Piper, Emma, Gwen, Aimee, Ezra, Nora, Mom, Dad and all the other hands that helped put this thing together. This one’s for you Nate, miss you bud.
