Good Times
This weave is about disintegration and the passage of time. Color gradients and digital textures were added to photographs of melting ice shadows to mimic wear and aging. Paper raffia represents decay that has scarred over while other areas were eroded leaving gaps in the structure. It is an interplay between the idea of natural vs. synthetic with paper strips and raffia representing our organic world and the manipulated photos representing our digital world.

Libby Raab
Libby Raab is an architect and paper weaver based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Along with running her architecture studio, she works with photo and paper weaving as an exploration of colors, textures, and pattern. Libby believes that like architecture, weaving is a form of spatial expression and material experimentation. Her work explores the intersection of geometry, digital technology, and nature. By hand weaving original photos that have been digitally altered, Libby aims to create a dialogue between tradition and innovation, organic and synthetic textures, reality, and illusion
