About the Artwork

This work was made in collaboration with the programmers and weavers at TextielLab. The Cathedral is a liminal space of reflection on how much of yourself you can afford to share in an artwork. You may fall afoul if you stray from the pedestal. Here, the fear of oversharing and the excitement of new ways of expression combine into a lightning storm of existential dread and creative promise. No risk, no reward. A computerised jacquard loom lends a more intricate approach to image making around formal tapestry composition and subjects who would not be seen in traditional pieces.
