Robin Johnston chooses to work in the nearly extinct medium of hand-weaving as a way to intentionally prolong her process. She records information such as light, noise and temperature to create real-time maps of her physical and spiritual experience while weaving. Quantifying and categorizing stress levels, thoughts, emotions and physical effects on her body, she explores her own relationship to time, process and the world around her. For her most recent work, she used Morse code in her weaving to record people's thoughts on the current global geo-political situation. The Morse messages are woven into an ongoing piece that addresses the failure of communication and the loss of information between generations. Robin holds an MFA from California College of the Arts.
