Found Frames is a project coming from the idea of finding empty frames on the street. I weave on them, and the frames transform into looms. In the end the loom returns as a frame, just now for the weaving. The concept is simple, however the end expression is determined by the found frames size, color and material. A cooperation between the weaving and the found object, and consequently a piece that can not be replicated.

​

My weaving process has developed as I have taught myself over the past few years into leaving intentional gaps and voids within the completed weaving.

I see the process much like drawing or painting, but one where I can not paint over or erase. The process of weaving is linear, I must follow on from what I have done before, I follow the grid and can not go back.

​

Unlike traditional weaving the pieces are intended to be kept on the loom and in turn the frame from which the were made, forever suspended. I see it as the weaving and the frame coexist.

Considering the work is so tactile, I had to recognize exhibiting it through digital documentation. I photographed Found Frames by placing them back where I found them, in their original location, the place where I first encountered the object.
