Slime Mold
Photos on archival paper – woven with custom weave pattern. Plasmodial slime molds play an important role as decomposers and are commonly seen on rotting wood. This paper weave celebrates the raw beauty that can be inherent in decay with brightly colored cells highlighted against the blue swirling fibers of a tree trunk. It also considers the achievements that are possible when individuals come together and work in tandem.

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
