Private Commission

This early color change textile took a compositional and painterly approach to the medium of color change textiles. The work uses brightly colored plain weave and twill combined with brightly colored, printed ink. In some case the ink changes color or value to match the background color or a woven color next to it. This creates spatial shifts from background to foreground. Over 100 unique colors were mixed and applied to the textile. With Joey Berzowska.

Media: Hand-woven cotton, rayon, conductive yarns, silver ink, thermochromic ink, custom drive electronics and expressive software. Sixty-four pixels, or color change areas. 26"w x 48"h.
