The Loom

A timber frame built in a raw room, someone sitting inside it at a bench, a drawing of the loom pinned to a board beside it

Listening space, woven
On Air. With Vida Boogh

A loom you step inside. Vida and I took the weaving frame and turned it into a place to listen: you sit in it and weave while you listen, and over time the threads build up around you into a cocoon: quieter, more enclosed, better for listening both inwards and out. Each thread keeps a trace of what was heard, a conversation, a moment spent together. The repeated movement lets the body settle, and the mind follows.
