Community Loom, Kingsley Pines Camp, Raymond, Maine. 2021
The Community Loom is a collaborative project in which participants of all ages were invited to weave objects into a giant frame loom installed across the beams of an outdoor art space. Participants were invited to come into the art space during their free times as a way to relieve stress, learn a skill, or practice a meditative and repetitive art form. As the facilitator of the project, I instructed weavers, new or experienced, on how to be a part of the project, taught basic weaving techniques, and suggested they experiment. Materials include yarn, rope, fabric scraps, wool roving, smaller weavings completed in frame looms, a plastic leaf, ribbon, and 120 film backing. Participants were asked to sign an artist log that is displayed in the space with the piece.
