The structure for Crystal Gazing Amplifiers, a collection of ten naturally, dyed, silkscreened bandannas is inspired by twill weaving and tapestry weaving patterns. Relying on the exponential effects of repetition and variation, I attempt a transmutation from vernacular utilitarian object to contemplative device meant to harness and focus the tension that arises between the two. Transparency, wind, and weather are invited to enact their qualities on the piece.
