Patrick Stratton

Patrick Stratton (b. 1994, Lewisham) merges weaving, mechanics, and electronics to document micro social systems. Inspired by Samuel Beckett, he uses a scientific-like approach to transform everyday actions into moving tapestries, often animated with motors. His work has been exhibited in the UK, USA, Italy, and Germany. The outcomes vary, with some pieces resulting in stable mechanical tapestries and others in short videos with archived pieces.
