In traditional loom weaving practices, the warp (vertical threads) pass over and under the weft, (horizontal threads). I completed two collages individually; however, combined, they create a work that is deeper, layered, and physically strengthened.
Variations in weave tightness, fraying, and scale represent the fluid evolution of relationships; the shifts between ease and difficulty when two identities merge. The fabric selection for both collages was a collaborative process with my partner, reflecting our identities with the material.
Descending in a numeral, calendar-like way, the squares mark the passing of time. The colours and texture of the alternating collages blur and grow ambiguous in which belongs to which, symbolising the way love weaves two individuals together.
