Notes
This work is taken from a series of eight “footnotes” from the body of work Depth Perception. These were woven parallel to much larger pieces and function as references to the scaled-up installations. This work was woven in a weave structure called “shadow weave”, which creates optical patterns based on the interaction of different coloured threads. It features a meandering thread, a thought path to follow through with the eye.
