the loom becomes a rhythmic instrument, storyteller, companion, historian, producing fabric that is a tactile timestamp of the performance
The loom is a technology that’s easy to overlook—an innovation too ancient and quotidian to be appreciated—but that doesn’t mean we should. As artist Anni Albers puts it, “Threads were among the earliest transmitters of meaning.” Within the parameters of the performance space, the loom becomes a rhythmic instrument, storyteller, companion, historian, and community focal point; the tactile score created in performance forms a sensory experience that alchemizes the clacking of the loom, the vibrancy of the threads, the movement of the shuttle, the echoes of the ancestors through song, and the trance induced by the weaving of story.
