A sculpture and cyanotypes




I came upon a package of old rusted heddles, from a loom at one point, and held onto them knowing I wanted to tie them together with very fragile thread. Turns out the thread had to be gold, and reinforced with wire in order to hold.

This sculpture was presented with other graduating fibres students in an exhibit at Montréal's Eastern Bloc Gallery.

I then used this sculpture to make some very unique cotton and silk fabrics, using the process cyanotype. I will repeat this soon, just need a trip to American Chemicals and a sunny day...
