Codes

Weaving is always a digital process of up/downs, so it got me working with codes to generate patterns or weave structures for the Jacquard loom to create these these abstract images that are still based very much on real stories.
Also it allowed me specifically to tell Philomela’s story
Blue:  The Ada Lovelace Code: 32 x 30" 2017.  It uses Ascii's 0's and 1's to create weave structures and for Ada's quote from 1943: “The Analytical Engine Weaves Algebraic Patterns, just as the Jacquard Loom Weaves Flowers and Leaves…”
Yellow:   The Philomela Code, 22 x 22", 2017 . It uses Morse code as weave structures to translate a text from Ovid's Metamorphoses her story as told by Ovid.
Red:  The Arachne Code, 31 x 33" , 2017: It uses Ascii's 0's and 1's as weave structures to translate a text from Ovid's Metamorphoses Ovid’s text
Green:  Pi , 22 x 23", 2017; It uses uses Ascii as weave structures and shows up to 700 digits of PI.
