WOVEN BINARIES: I. PHYSICAL, II. VERBAL, III. CYBER 

Cotton, cord, metal, reflective yarn 
L 26” - W 26” - H 47" 

Woven Binaries: I.Physical, II.Verbal, III.Cyber displays the quantification of human experiences and the dilution of emotional qualities through their simplification into binaries. The three parts to this metaphorical garment refer to the physical, verbal and cyber categorizations of discrimination in Brazilian law, materializing them into tangible forms that explore the relationship and boundaries between the body, its social context and the physical environment.

Isabela Chan is a Brazilian-born, Chinese-Japanese textile artist. In her practice, Isabela explores how knits and woven fabrics can store information through binary systems, utilizing the equivalent language found in warp and weft, knit and purl. Isabela translates her own life experiences and worldviews into these textile structures to communicate broader topics, which are often disguised by the soft, tangible qualities of fabric, yet survive as physical repositories of memory.
