------------------------------------------------------------

Through September 9

Interlace (http://madmuseum.org/exhibition/samantha-bittman-interlace) wraps the entry-level elevator bank in a colorful, oversize weaving draft –the pattern weavers follow to work out their designs in advance, dress their loom, and subsequently weave a piece of cloth. This particular weaving draft represents a “sample blanket,” a textile that uses different warp and weft combinations in small sections in order to experiment with weave structures, yarn and color. Printed at this scale, the pattern is recognizable as a tool specific to textile work, while resembling the pixels associated with the digital.
