Description: Walking a Line 2007
This is part of Digital Threads a web project involving 5 artists, hosted by the Textile Museum of Canada, curated by Sarah Quinton and launched in fall 2007. [www.digitalthreads.ca]. These lines were captured with a hand-held GPS over a month. They represent simple daily activities, driving to work, shopping, visiting friends, walking around the neighborhood or riding a bike around the park. Although invisible, my body is an agent of these drawings. The patterns emerging anchor my memory and trace narratives with simple lines. I am interested in various technologies with complex and gendered histories and in blurring lines between global perspectives and domestic spaces. The layers represent a wider mental space facilitated by virtual technologies. They allow me to move in time and space to create links between, art, textiles, myth, technology, women and trade.

GPS Track July 9, 2007: Driving up Cascade Lookout in Manning Park
Artist: Ruth Scheuing
Work ID: 75781
Description: The White Pieces 2010
I became interested in weaving objects that looked both like towels, formal paintings such as Mondrians simple squares and primary colours and the idea of domestic landscape.
They are inspired by traditional damask weaving in white on white, where light reflection on the warp (length threads) or weft (horizontal threads) creates the patterns. But my patterns are rather loud and chaotic, and they represent real geographic landmarks, ocean, mountains, trees etc. I also wanted to see if different modes of transportation would produce noticeable different qualities of lines. In the city we mostly drive on a grid although; in rural setting we are following larger grids or follow landmarks, rivers, lakes and ocean fronts. By kayak we follow no grid at all and while biking or hiking we may follow a path or a meandering trail. The coloured stripes of the towels carry a variety of information and data, from location data, speed and heart rate data, route descriptions and pictures. All Computer assisted Jacquard weavings 30 x 30 2010.

They are inspired by traditional damask weaving in white on white, where light reflection on the warp (length threads) or weft (horizontal threads) creates the patterns. But my patterns are rather loud and chaotic, and they represent real geographic landmarks, ocean, mountains, trees etc. I also wanted to see if different modes of transportation would produce noticeable different qualities of lines. In the city we mostly drive on a grid although; in rural setting we are following larger grids or follow landmarks, rivers, lakes and ocean fronts. By kayak we follow no grid at all and while biking or hiking we may follow a path or a meandering trail. The coloured stripes of the towels carry a variety of information and data, from location data, speed and heart rate data, route descriptions and pictures.
