Abstract [en]

This project explores how weaving can function as an embodied language and as a resistance to what I call normative legibility, defined as the demand that experiences of marginalised bodies should be translated into universal narratives. Departing from lived experiences of transness and being othered, I examine how artistic research can produce knowledge that does not require this translation. I position weaving as a material extension of writing-with-the-body, and develop the concept of embodied failure defined as meaning-making through material resistance and bodily limitations. My practice is grounded in the dialogue between text/textile and body. Expanding on theorists such as Mara Lee, Audrey Lorde and Cathrine Dormor, I explore how temporality can be materialised in the loom. I argue that weaving can function as both poetry and theory. Weaving is a mode of meaning-making that emerges through the body, time and material inscription rather than through explanatory language. In doing so, weaving can open up a poetic ambiguous space for trans narratives beyond binary readings of identity, politics and art. The outcome of this project is a series of woven silk objects installed spatially to activate a non-linear and partly distorted reading.
