permeability and reflectivity


The warp on the loom now is another study of density and permeability. What is allowed in, and what is kept out. As a curtain, this textile lets in a lot of light from outside, and also allows outsiders to look in. In places there are denser areas which break up the visual field. Depending on the time of day, one can see out through the weaving as if there is barely any filter. When darkness falls, one sees the textile itself, with little sense of anything beyond it.
