Through the performance of Soft Walls, denirée isabel, Helen Liene Dreifelds and Emma Aurelia explore the idea of extended technique in weaving. In thoughtful defiance of tradition, they strive to stretch their relationship with material, process and one another. They ask: what can we achieve when we work collectively and unconventionally? In what ways can we reimagine structures of support, tension and extension? Ultimately, how can we deepen the connection to ourselves, machines and to one another?
