Exhibition Opening
suite.co.nzJoin {Suite} for a drink and preview the exhibition at the Wellington gallery, 243 Cuba Street, Wellington, on Wednesday 7th July from 5 - 7pm.
The art of weaving is intrinsically algorithmic. Weaving is bound to a set of rules and processes with the design process pre-planned and set. Tia Ansell uses her own coding system that involves the initial sketch of immediate landscapes, which is then codified and translated into the threaded gridation on the loom. The warp and weft either has the repeated code in both directions (warp and weft), or a second coded pattern is applied in the weft to create what Tia calls, a double image. The final step in her process is a flat and simplified geometry or pattern taken from the same location the weavings were based on.
