"Cosmic Tapestry I & II" are 30x22" each, acrylic on paper. It's a minimal concept that started with "what if?" The square image was simple. After painting my initial square, I cut it into strips and split them down the middle, then wove them together. For the circle, in order to end up with a round shape, I had to split the strips not down the middle but alternating each one. Then when I wove them to together, I still had a circle but also negative shapes within it. I had no idea when I started piecing these together again what they would look like, hence the "what if?" I really like the simplicity of the idea and also how it lets the materials take the lead. These remind me of very early computer graphics...
