Joan Truckenbrod’s woven works explore hidden systems of connectivity, from fungal networks and sound patterns to the structures underpinning natural phenomena. Combining digital Jacquard weaving with hand-dyed fibres, metallic threads and sculptural interventions, her practice reveals intricate relationships between technology and ecology. Constructed Difference (2024) explores natural forms through the integration of environmental materials of silk and paper. Human touch is present in the hand-spinning of the Red Silk, Denim Blue and Ochre Yellow silk from artisans in Bengal, and by Truckenbrod's own passing of the shuttle back and forth across the loom. On the vertical open structure to the left side of the composition Black Warp Mercerized Cotton is left visible, creating a dynamic tension between fixed form and a state of flux.
