Mackenzie Frère | Simulation of Jacquard sample "stemflow"

Each day of the workshop, every student will have a section of his or her sample file woven. Today I chose to submit this sample with multiple twills. In another experiment I used an image from my recent material study Air over land. There may be something here, but I will have to make more to find out.

Mackenzie Frère | Experimental image before structure application

Tonight I am busy extracting light and dark areas from images of grass and stone and a curious ink drawing made by my partner (thank you Kristofer). In the process I hope to achieve non-repeating, organic structures that will then be reapplied to images like these. In the process I hope that they will retain some legibility, but lose the regular grid of woven structures like twill or satin. It is not lost on me that I am using an exacting digital grid to do this, but then even with an apparently organic woven structure the grid will remain no?
