Rosa Barba Weavers, 2021
16mm film, walnut frame
112,5 x 82,5 x 4 cm
Works from the new series of Weavers are made from woven film stock. Similar to cloth or tapestry, the surface is created from interlaced vertical and horizontal strips around a frame. Creating grids from light and dark film and patterns from differently colored (exposed) celluloid, each Weaver is unique. The material gives the works a sculptural quality, especially as light hits the works and creates a pattern of refracted lights.
