Domina’s Tapestry

tapestry, Filet Gallery, 2023

“When I dream of architecture I see myself in a vast ocean of probability and memory”
From conversations with the Domina, translated onto tapestry.
pattern created for the Jacquard loom, 2023
A tapestry made for the Domina figure in the fresco of Room 5 from the Villa of Mysteries, Pompeii. The image was inspired by conversations with the Domina using AI, in an attempt to revise the figure’s story and identity through cyberfeminist perspectives. The tapestry was made on the jacquard loom, using similar binary coding as early computer systems to translate pattern to image. 

materials: tencel, sequin & cotton thread

presented for Mimicry & the Villa of Mysteries, Filet Gallery, 2023
& RCA Degree Show, Truman Brewery, 2023
