With the verve of an astronaut or a child with a butterfly net, the work of Alayna Rasile celebrates the most persistent zeitgeist in human history: wonder. Ceaselessly self-taught and collaboratively active, Rasile’s interdisciplinary approach to weaving enjoys wandering through a conceptual, mechanical and aesthetic landscape. Playful yet inquisitive, innovative yet technical, Rasile’s work celebrates the passage of time as an active gesture.
