Membrana
Working with remnants of previous textile projects as well as materials donated by local makers in Charleston, I expand my study of the cane weaving pattern into a large-scale installation based on my piece, Second Skin. Commonly known for its use in furniture design, the origins of the cane weaving pattern are contested. My relationship to cane weaving is one of nostalgia rooted in my memory of my elders, their homes and communing spaces. As a design that challenges authenticity, with this installation I reach to add to its lineage while creating an archive.
