The Ravishment
2026
27” x 8”, double weave pickup with cotton yarns
    Handwoven double weave pickup animation study of Georges Schwizgebel’s 1982 animated film “The Ravishment of Frank N. Stein”. The animation is made with 5 frames on each side, with the colors carefully planned to continue seamlessly onto the reverse side, resulting in total of 10 frames for the loop. The values are intentionally placed and transitioned through the doors in order to allow both sides to loop together, activating the front and back equally. This creates an endless space, although the physically woven object itself is quite small.
