16” x 17”, double weave pickup with cotton yarns
- Double weave pickup animation study from Maya Deren’s 1943 short film “Meshes of the Afternoon”
made from 14 frames (each side). Beneath the topmost layers are semi visible marks from a sharpie, used both for planning spacing of the composition of each frame, and also showing through, quietly suggesting space where there is none woven. The subject is taken out of a scene where Deren is falling up the stairs as the camera rotates in a circle, and so I wanted to remove that space just enough that the figure is isolated, but not to totally disrupt the viewers understanding of the relationship of motion between the “camera” and the figure.
