Loom Book (Second Edition)

$50.00

Loom Book was informed by a book titled The Book of Looms by Eric Broudy, which combed through the historical development of weaving looms across different geographical locales, including Egyptian tombs, a ninth-century Viking ship in Norway, the Gobelins workshop in Paris, and the Silk Road. Fascinated by the designs of these weaving devices (some as simplistic as two trees) and the profound logic of warp and weft, I made 20 drawings as notes. in 2022, I found a way to restage the choreography of weaving in book form, inviting the readers’ hands to dance as the weaver’s do.

Re-editioned with Chinese captions and new packaging in 2025.

Self-published, open edition, 20.3 × 22.9 cm + 12.5 × 27.9 cm, 2025

2018年,我在纽约纺织艺术中心驻地学习织布,在那里读到了一本名为《The Book of Looms》的书。它梳理了自古埃及以来,不同文化与时代中各式织机的发展历史。早期的织机异常简洁——可以只是一个人和一棵树,而其中已然包含了纵横经纬的深刻逻辑。根据书中的照片和介绍性的文字,我画下了20个织机作为笔记。2022年,我想到了一种装订方式,可以让书本模仿织机的结构,使阅读者的双手也像纺织者那样,在横纵两个方向上既相交又独立地舞蹈。

2025年重新发行版本加入中文说明和新的包装。

自出版,开放版数,20.3 × 22.9 厘米 + 12.5 × 27.9 厘米,2025
