Fibre artist Robyn Thomas creates her tactile woven artworks using simple loom structures to employ a weave technique executed with the unexpected core material of VHS tape as her weaving fibre. This unusual material choice gives the finished works intriguing visual complexity. In a desire to use materials that tell a story, the artist employs books, pop culture magazines as well as old movies as sources for her works. According to Thomas, she is ‘interested in exploring the historical relationship between weaving and the recording of stories, and how they are connected by the use of the first computer, the loom.’
