History is Dust | Kurt Payne

Like a magpie Kurt collects fragments from books, blogs, films, earworm lyrics, obsessions, and spiritual mantras—enciphering these moments into coded messages on cotton and linen. By pushing the boundaries of handweaving techniques like crackle, twills, and Bronson lace, text transforms into abstract colour and texture, rich in meaning yet indecipherable. These highly practical, everyday objects serve as souvenirs of life, offering an intriguing enigma of forgotten meanings.
