Weaving is the synthesis of two different systems, interlocking in order to give self-supporting form to their combined whole. Traditionally referred to as a "warp" and a "weft" pattern, neither could support themselves alone, but together they become strong. The endless variety of weaving seen in basket, net, rope, and textile design proves that procedural techniques and cultural practices are not mutually exclusive. Most surprising about a woven construction is that it is actually harder to unravel than to weave in the first place. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
