Cranbrook Map Tapestry (after Loja Saarinen)

Walmart photo-woven throw, 2014, 80"w x 60"h x 0.5"d

This work is a reproduction of a tapestry woven by Loja Saarinen. The original was produced by hand sometime between 1932 and 1935. My reproduction was digitally woven on demand by Walmart. The process of re-creation highlights the transformation of labor and art in the last century. My work investigates labor and culture through engagement with history and institutions.
