Please join us in a dialogue with Tiffany Loy, as we explore the relationships between woven textile, weaving loom, and the human body. This talk will be a short presentation of Loy’s Expanding Rectangles body of work, and a longer Q&A to discuss the role and significance of woven textiles in shaping culture, history, and even education and cognitive thinking. The act of weaving combines ingenious technology with tacit knowledge, and sensitivity to materials, that can only be felt by the hands. How does the experience of feeling a material inform our decisions in making? How much of what we produce is a result of thinking, feeling, cultural influences, or simply the technologies that are at our disposal?
