The premise of Interwoven is to explore collaborative ways of making and being through creative and social weavings where objects, materials, conversations or bodies may become combined.
From a relativistic perspective, in the world we inhabit, every thing is identified and defined by relative positions and qualities. As a result, we are woven into a dualistic narrative of me and you, Self and other, good and bad. Alternatively, is there an absolute dimension of reality, in which each and everything is part of a seamless whole; where we are processes not things?
Do we weave through interdependence, where each thing is defined by its relationships to other things, and by differentiation, with what it is not? Or do we weave through independence, where each thing has absolute value and its unique place within the seamless whole? Do we form sensations, perception, mental formations, and consciousness; everything that can be touched, sensed and conceived? Or are we emptiness: the quality of all things being empty of inherent, independent, enduring self-essence?
