Thomas Bayrle

"Standing in the weaving factory, day after day, hour after hour, I sank deep into this undergrowth of warp and weft. I kind of melted away... immersed in the endless reinforcement of millions of crossovers and crossunders... The finished product--the fabric--represented the totality, a whole: a society or collective. A single thread represented something like individuality. That is where I got the idea that the social fabric is made up of individuals who are woven together but cannot move."

-Thomas Bayrle
