Geographic Series Commentary

"The pieces in this series reflect an affection toward movement within urban geography. For example, there could be cars, trucks, and pedestrians all crossing a bridge at once in two directions at various speeds. Below the bridge the river is moving downstream and a barge upstream. A train powers along it's path under the bridge. To capture this scene in a still photograph will certainly display the geography well, but not the movement. I feel that movement is naturally inherent in the medium of weaving.

The relationship between each string in it's up-down, over-under maneuvers echo the movements in a given geography-scape. This will always be true because everything moves over-top of the earth on it's journey. A bridge is not necessary in most cases, but it is the bridge, and the bridges over bridges, and especially the trains that add excitement and positive energy to a given location.

I have used strings, ropes, and yarns woven together to harness such movement and excitement. Through varying fiber texture, color and size I can interpret the feel of different elements within our urban moving world. And to capture this energy and motion using fibers stretched over a frame for me is thrilling." - Stevo
