weaving II
media: collaborative trash weaving on double-sided wooden frame loom
location: STEM teaching & learning building, michigan state university, east lansing, michigan
year: 2022
As part of the the 1.5 Degrees Celsius exhibit at the Michigan State University Museum (which featured 2 of my large plastic weavings), I provided a plastic weaving workshop open to university students and the community at the STEM Teaching & Learning Building. I built a simple double-sided frame loom, and participants brought their own plastic to weave both sides of the loom. After the workshop, the loom was transported to the MSU Museum, where museum patrons were encouraged to add plastic to the weaving throughout the exhibit.
