21 x 29,7cm, ink on paper, Kevin Lucbert, 2021

I wasn’t crazy about this piece so I wasn’t intending on publicly posting it again, but it keeps getting stolen every five minutes so I figured I’d put it here so people at least know who to attribute the original thing to lmao

[Digital illustration, Procreate App, 2020]

Yes, this is a drawing lol here’s the original photo it’s based on next to the drawing itself. If you zoom in on the pine trees you can see the stray scribble / pencil brush texture marks

the name of the piece is "Replica of a Chip", and it was woven by Marilou Schultz. here is a good blog post about the piece, the weaver's current work, and a history of the Navajo nation's involvement in the semiconductor industry:

More beautiful tapestries by Diedrick Brackens, b 1989, Mexia, Texas. Lives and works in Los Angeles.

“I was born in a small town in Texas but I really grew up on Army bases around the country, my father was in the Army. My family is from Texas and I went to high school and college in Texas. I think growing up in a household that wasn’t defined by the home we lived at any given moment but was defined by our relationship to Texas, the South, and family in Mexia, Texas. So in some ways I have always been interested in the ideas of searching, navigation, mapping, etc. by virtue of growing up with distance from family, spending countless hours on road trips to and fro.”

Diedrick Brackens is a Los Angeles-based artist working in the medium of textiles. He received his BFA from the University of North Texas, Denton, Texas, and his MFA in textiles from California College of the Arts, Oakland, California. He is an assistant professor and program head of the fiber department at California State University Long Beach.
