  • Michelle Stephens
    PERSPECTIVE: Michelle Stephens ‘There has always been a textile root in my family’ recalls Michelle Stephens, the Northern Irish born and trained artist. In the 1950s her father ‘used to draw patterns out for jacquard looms as well as creating the actual jacquard punch cards for a local mill.’ Like many artists growing up in Northern Ireland the history and legacy of the linen industry, a colossus of world-class technology and pioneering manufacturing in the early global marketplace, is hard to shake off even if it is now falling out of living memory. What Stephens has shaped from these familial and cultural memories is a sustained investigation into weaving as a craft that unifies conceptual art and precision-driven technology. Weaving’s unique algorithmic and computational resonance in our digital age, she suggests, can offer the artist as much as the designer a coded language that may be decoded and recoded in visual and material terms. Working off the loom and employing diverse material [as this sentence is shortened it should read ‘materials’] such as wood, metal, Perspex and paint as well as thread and deploying different techniques, from hand-weaving to steel forging and digital laser-cutting, Stephens desires to reanimate historic textiles not purely as a sort of aesthetic exercise and end in itself but as a means to draw attention to skill as a broadly-framed conceptual and technological exchange. The results can only really de described as constructed textile installations such as the recent Plain Weave or Basket Weave. By concentrating on their facture Stephens creates open-ended materialisations of the making process itself.
