In the Almost by Jana Visser

 The cyclical passage of breath through the body and its relationship to the rhythmic, repetitive gestures of weaving was the inspiration behind this textile wall-hanging. Partly woven on an industrial jacquard loom, the work uses both hand techniques and mechanical processes. Once removed from the loom, the textile has been hand manipulated, unravelled and reworked in places to create a variation of texture and to expose the underlying structure of the work, as well as the relationship and tension between warp and weft.
