Margo Wolowiec1 collaborationMargo Wolowiec balances deep theoretical considerations about the digital-world, information and politics with the physical processes of weaving and printing. Apps and algorithms are used to collect photographs from hashtags or geo-tags, which she then prints onto polyester threads and weaves together. Her large works are assembled in panels that are mounted onto canvas or stretched on free-standing copper frames. Ancient, modern and contemporary influences mix within the works, some of which include Navajo rugs, traditional Berber weaving, the Bauhaus tapestries of Otti Berger and contemporary artists such as Laura Owens and Ruth Laskey. Climate change is a key theme also. Thursday Temperature (2019), for example, is a large single panel wall-work with a deep blue, indigo dye which bleeds upwards through the work, leaving a stain in the fabric that represents rising sea levels.
