YaYa Weave

YaYa Weave: The Hands Remember, collaborative research project with Vivian Vaux , exhibition and communal weaving workshops, Fish Factory, Penryn, 2021

The pattern is the rhythm that makes the song
that moves the hand that makes the fabric
that join us all together
The Yaya Weave exhibit presents the research of artists Viviane Vaux and Maria Christoforidou into haptic, visual and expanded notions of weaving. More often than not, in language and imagination, weaving is proposed as a metaphor for the social fabric. Thread is imagined as a visual representation of thinking patterns, connecting various themes from sound waves and pixels to cave drawings, emotional complexities and spiritual connections. Through archival images and objects the display places weaving at the intersection of science, technology, language, mythology and art.
