Barrow Parke, CMKY1, 2013
Acrylic on hand-loomed linen
42 × 37 inches
Barrow Parke’s collaborative practice explores weaving as both process and visual system. Their intricate paintings on handwoven fabric merge painted surface with the material’s inherent color, texture, and pattern. In the work on view, they align the Cartesian logic of weaving with the CMYK color model of commercial printing—using white paint to offset thread
colors and generate new chromatic fields. By layering one system within another, they reveal the interplay between craft, color theory, and digital technology.
