Untitled (Family Tree)
2021
An exploratory experiment, this weaving holds a “background” pattern that is an abstraction of the family tree I have built using my research on Ancestry.com, and a “foreground” image of my grandmother doubled up. Her directionality is important, as she is both looking toward and away from her own image.
