ACTIONWEAVER TRAVIS J. MEINOLF





Travis is a weaver.
He builds his own looms and weaves textiles,
cloth blankets and such by hand, but his practice is also much more than that.
It is social and educational in the best sense.
He organises communal production,
workshops and guerrilla interventions,
where he brings his loom into public places or
private buildings and gives spontaneous weaving demonstrations
for the people that he meets.
He is very much concerned with questions of individual freedom
and of unalienated labour, the ideals of pleasure in one’s own work,
ownership of the means of production, and uncommodified distribution.

The work of Travis is explicitly anti-industrial and handmade.
He is maybe part of a wider recent cultural moment,
a craft revival and an increased interest in do-it-yourself approaches.

I like Travis! :-)

FIFTYFIVE (AND SIX)




Someone wanted kinds of grey,
some white,
some black,
some grey/blue
and a dash of fuschia.
maybe yellow.
Weaving has started!

I JUST LIKE THE WORK OF REBECCA WARD







These installations are made with electrical tape.
I have something with yarn,
but I used to have something with tape.
Jealous I didn't make these! :-)

CIRCULAR WEAVINGS



Found these at one of my favourite blogs,
She made them on a piece of circular cardboard,
as shown on the last picture,
or how different a loom can look!
To me a modern approach to handcraft.
Thanks, Kelly! :-)

SCARF 53 AND 54 - BLACK AND WHITE






The twins are ready! :-)
Most of the time they are black and white,
and sometimes they meet.
Mostly cotton and linen, so they feel very crunchy,
but they will become softer when worn a lot.
Soon available at my webshop!
