Robin Kang morphs circuit board imagery into patterns resembling peacock feathers in a textile created with a digitally operated Jacquard hand loom. An abundance of gold from metallic yarns suggests a link to the divine, the receding space a throne-like seat or corridor leading to the beyond. (On view in ‘Pool Party’ organized by Field Projects at C24 Gallery in Chelsea through Sept 21st).
