Lois Bryant, Fog in My Head, 1981
Lois Bryant, Fog in My Head, 1981. Rayon yarns, 3 block damasse weave. Bryant admires Albers’ attitude towards the materials and tools of weaving, what Albers called “the overlapping of artistic, scientific, and technological interests on the part of the weaver…” In this early work, Bryant creates a shimmering composition through the adroit use of weave structures woven on a multi-shaft loom, and by using rayon, a regenerated cellulose fiber developed in the late 19th century.
