Rain, Bhakti Ziek

In Rain, Bhakti Ziek creates an interplay between visual elements and letters, using an indigo palette.
Ziek states: “Rain is part of my Continuum series, in which I have woven sky, water, clouds, and rain in attempts to understand place and where I fit in the world. For Rain, using charts of yearly rain accumulation for Vermont and New Mexico (both places I have called home), I imposed one above the other and plotted mutual points for my woven letters. When finished, information that had meaning became meaningless. I think this is a good metaphor for the current phenomenon where people feel at liberty to bend and twist facts any way that is convenient for their own beliefs.”
