Heide received their MFA in fiber/textiles at the University of Kansas in Lawrence\, KS\, in May 2024. In May 2020\, they completed a graduate certificate concentrated in hand papermaking at University of Iowa Center for the Book in Iowa City\, IA. They graduated in Spring 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in studio art and gender\, women’s and sexuality studies from Grinnell College in Grinnell\, IA. \nIn their current work\, they consider the excess of usable clothing being produced due to global capitalism alongside the rigid gender and class norms that clothing embodies. They salvage donated secondhand clothes that are unlikely to find a new wearer\, whether because they are worn out\, defective or are simply an unpopular style. Drawing on the generally unremarkable forms of everyday clothes and garment racks\, they transform these unwanted clothes into artworks that create unexpected connections between different parts of the lifecycle of a garment\, and between different articles of clothing. To make these works\, they use traditional American craft practices used historically to repurpose old clothing such as quilting\, rag rug making and hand papermaking.  \n\nArtist Statement\nThis series of weavings exposes the generally hidden forms of retail clothing racks\, with the racks becoming the central motif rather than being hidden under rows of clothing for sale. Before fast fashion\, people had deep care and use relationships with each of their garments. My great-grandparents and grandparents all made many well-crafted home goods\, including clothing\, quilts and furniture\, but these practices were not carried on by their children (my parents\, aunts and uncles). Now\, clothing is considered disposable. With the rise of inexpensive readymade clothes produced by industrial textile equipment and underpaid mostly overseas labor came the rapid decline in common knowledge of textile construction techniques. \nIn these human-scale banners\, I reconfigure various traditional weaving patterns including overshot\, twills and waffle weave. Many of these patterns were used by early white settlers who colonized what is now the United States. They wove for subsistence before readymade cloth was available. Variations have also been used by weavers all over the world since shortly after the evolution of humans\, when weaving evolved too. The sculptural stands holding my weavings reference warp-weighted and vertical looms\, which have been used since prehistoric times. \nWith the invention of the Jacquard loom in the early 19th century\, weavers were suddenly able to incorporate complex organic shapes and combine patterns within their weavings in the course of a day or two in a way that was previously only possible with thousands of hours of work. At the same time\, other industrial textile equipment to produce all different types of fabric proliferated\, and the cottage textile industry in the early United States swiftly disappeared as factories took over cloth production. This disappearance followed the cultural erasure and land theft that the same white settlers acted out when they arrived in America and displaced and killed Indigenous people already living here. In much the same way\, the contemporary clothing industry continues to displace particularly the most marginalized people by polluting water\, creating unsafe and unsustainable working conditions\, and dumping unimaginable quantities of discarded clothing in landfills. \nI made these weavings using a very different type of Jacquard loom than the one invented in 1804\, which is also the kind that is still commonly used in industry today. The works in this exhibition were produced using a TC2\, or thread controller 2\, Jacquard loom\, invented by Vibeke Vestby in the late 1990s. Vestby’s objective was to return the power of increased thread control to handweavers: the TC2 is operated using a combination of digital image files (often created by hacking Photoshop) that the loom’s computer reads\, a vacuum pump fed in above the loom that individually raises specific threads to create the design\, and the physical movement of yarn through the path created by the loom’s raised threads that the artist operating the loom feeds in to make the cloth. Although Jacquard weaving was invented to eliminate the need for cooperative\, small-scale production\, weaving on the TC2 loom as I do to make these works recenters the Jacquard weaving process in the tradition of weaving as collaboration: maintaining the loom requires a team of people working together\, generally made up of artists and students who are also making weavings on the loom. \nThe collaborative nature of the TC2 inherently invites the sharing of knowledge and cooperative teaching. Although this exhibition cannot change the linear trajectory of clothing from factory to store to consumer to landfill\, and the cultural and environmental costs that comes with this cycle\, I do hope that it will inspire curiosity and criticality about how\, where\, why and for whom cloth is made.
