Time Warp
Handwoven Cotton on TC2 Loom

2023
________________
Time Warp represents a convergence of timelines within Carol Ann’s creative practice, weaving together threads of past (illustration/graphic design), present (floor loom weaving), and future (TC2 loom weaving).
Handwoven on a TC2 Jacquard loom—a groundbreaking tool invented in Norway—this piece references one of her early abstracted studies of the kusikus pattern (an Ilokano protective textile design that led to her discovery of her family’s almost forgotten weaving lineage) before she taught herself how to use the floor loom.
This work marks Carol Ann’s first encounter with the TC2 loom, a medium that enabled her to digitally translate an earlier abstract illustration into woven form. The process allowed for a reimagining of design through the lens of weaving, a craft deeply rooted in tradition yet evolving through innovation. Time Warp is a meditation on continuity and transformation—an exploration of how distinct creative moments can harmonize across time and materiality.
