Faces & Mazes: Lia Cook
09 Apr, 2010 - 06 Sep, 2010
This exhibition features Lia Cook's most recent series of weavings in which she uses an electronic Jacquard hand loom to weave faces that dissolve into continuously changing maze-like patterns. As the faces fragment, a perceptual shift occurs, moving through a place of transition and ambiguity to reveal the physical, tactile nature of the constructed image. Drawing on familiar and childhood sources, Cook uses a detail, often re-photographed, layered and re-woven in oversized scale, to intensify an emotional and/or sensual encounter.
Faces & Mazes is organized by the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and is accompanied by a 60-page illustrated catalogue.
