Shuttle

Alex Beaumount, a textile artist, and Lily Conforti, a dance artist, wove their mediums together to create this work. With the theme of transformation in mind, the artists begin the piece from behind a frame of intertwined textile panels. Out of sight of the viewers, the artists initially poke out only fingers, hands, and arms from between the cloth panels and around the sides of the frame. The movement stretches gaps between the panels, providing glimpses of kinetic bodies. Continuing on, the artists unfasten panels, moving with the cloth and revealing different colors and patterns on the back. The artists extend the cloth panels outward, around, above, transforming the closed frame space into an open structure. Shuttle premiered in DanceBarn's outdoor show, CollabArts.
