The organic shapes are formed using a pick-up technique, where the sheds are hand selected across the width of the loom for each pass of the weft yarn. The alternating layers are carefully planned in panels, which are then stitched together. Reversals in which layer of cloth is on top serve to obscure and alter the original line drawing that composed the piece. This imagery in this piece came from line drawings and studies I was doing on paper. Interested in the way that pattern obscures image, and in our bodies' intimate and evolutionary relationship with cloth, I am always curious about using pattern, color, and layered weaving techniques to represent images of the body and then obscure them. This piece developed from a series of weavings I made that were directly representational. The final piece in this series, I was interested in abstracting the body through drawings that referenced the outward motion and inner dialogues of our physical bodies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2026 Making Matters Exhibition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44248267456692,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0311\/0859\/5757\/files\/ElizabethSchweizer_I_mthinkingI_mthinking.jpg?v=1781712276","url":"https:\/\/www.petersvalleygallery.org\/products\/im-thinking-im-thinking-by-elizabeth-schweizer","provider":"Peters Valley Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
