Loops and Bloops

This piece is a hand embroidery (the “loops”) I made during a month-long collaborative call and response project between me and electronic musician Mute City called “January Loops and Bloops”. On January 1, 2023, we began collaborating on an art project: I made an embroidery (Red #1) and Mute City made a short instrumental electronic track (Black #1). On January 2, each of us looked at what the other had made the day before, and made a new piece of our own in response. We passed back and forth like this—between embroidery and music—for the whole month. In the end, each of us had made 31 pieces, one for each day of January, split into two threads: a Red Thread, and a Black Thread. We uploaded them so you can see them in order, and follow the connections between them as the threads progress.
