Weaving the Movies
Weaving an entire movie in one scarf by taking a 'bar code’ of the colour average of every frame, arranged chronologically to create the warp. An intensive exploration of the possibilities for movies inspiring clothing that is subtler than a t-shirt. The warp is wound, thread by thread following the bar code and a thematically appropriate draft gives a sense of flight. A range of blankets is being developed from this project.
