Weaving Images

Mike Jones, Graduate Art Student

Performance/Demonstration

Friday, November 18, 1-3pm.
Second Floor - Gallery space at the top of the stairs

Mr. Jones will present a performance piece in the form of a demonstration where he will weave images into one artwork. He will begin with a pre-mounted photograph placed on a custom-made loom and in a meditation he will weave strips of another photograph into it in order to gain a better understanding of the subject matter. The amalgamation of the two images will result in an installation that will be displayed the rest of the semester in the first floor library gallery.
