Robin Kang – Jacquard woven fabric – TC2 digital Jacquard loom.
In the textile customs of many indigenous cultures, there’s a practice of creating an intentional error within the piece—it’s seen as an act of honoring the divine or indicating your imperfection. In Navajo culture it’s called the “spirit line”—a misplaced thread that looks like it’s breaking the symmetry but is actually intentionally situated there. I like to embrace this in my work as well—I find that it can take on an additional meaning in the context of the man versus machine conversation.

Question in my mind – what/who would I be weaving for?
