Corinne Riepert's internship internship at Claudia Hill, textile artist
CONVENE weaving gatherings is part of a long-term work process that engages with the ancient technique of weaving while functioning as an archival and narrative practice. By physically exploring the web of relations between somatic practices and craft, carpets created during the Co-weaving processes are activated performatively in various ways by means of scores. Following the interwoven materials and the stories hidden in them, rituals physically trace threads in order to continue spinning them, using the different practices of collaborators from the fields of dance, healing, writing, music and film. Throughout this process, indigo dyeing facilitates alchemical transformations of matter as a unifying element.‘
Corinne assisted Claudia Hill during her internship with sewing indidvidual clothes for each artist invited(Jared Gradinger, Siegmar Zacharias, Shelley Etkin, Roberto Martinez, Heidrun Holzfeind and Stefan Rusconi), weaving and warping the loom as well as mixing and dyeing with indigo.
