The human body cannot permanently evade the effects of damage from consistent use over time, making eventual deterioration a reality. By examining the malleability of the body throughout its lifespan from fleshy newborn though the mottled inelasticity of old age, loom examines the everyday reality of aging as related to the inescapable atrophy of the body producing beauty in the unconventional spaces of wrinkles, folds, and biological imperfection. Created out of two thousand yards of cotton twill tape, loom is hand-dyed, woven and tied methodically together, and immersed into stiffeners including wax and resin. The irregular application and cracking of the yellow and red tinted wax mimic the darkening and wrinkling found in the maturing skin of an elderly body, the large scale of the piece leads to the immediate awareness of the physicality of the works production, highlighting the methodology of craft brought to the tangible materials.
