In Weavers, 16mm film loops through and around 35mm film warp, creating a patterned double-sided canvas. The title refers to the collaborative work of the makers of this monumental piece. The irregular weaves accentuated by a low-angled spotlight create fleeting sequences. At times reflective or see-through, Weavers is at once a cinematographic image and a rotating suspended screen.
