Marcia Weiss, Rhythm I, 2012

Marcia Weiss, Rhythm I, 2012. Material Meaning: A Living Legacy of Anni Albers, Craft in America
Marcia Weiss, Rhythm I, 2012. Linen and rayon, ikat dyed, hand woven double-weave. Both Rhythm I and Dialogue I simultaneously reveal and conceal the movement of color between the layers. The strategic placement of weave structure juxtaposed with color achieves this effect. Although Albers did not employ ikat technique in her double weave compositions, she plotted out her color placement with great care.
