Weaving Tides is a series of handwoven cast nets embedded in handmade abaca paper. This series developed from my engagement with fishing-net weaving, which I began as a way to reconnect with and embody a lost craft tradition that once shaped my family. The ancestral fishing tradition of weaving nets fell by the wayside due to external factors like displacement. Here, I combine papermaking with the craft to remix and embody fishing net weaving in new ways.
