Imagine the magnitude of quickly reviving the old mills across America to retool for speedy manufacturing. It seems such a monumental task, that took a generation to build the first time. Growing up in New England I was surrounded by textile mills, some still working, some newly converted to restaurants and shops.
Here’s my take on attempting the modern retooling of those textile mills. Created with acrylics, fabrics, fibers, and metal bobbins, the weaving of the fibers represents a mix of old and new fibers, with gold wire to hint at the future.
