Eyebrow and facial hair threading street salon.
An ancient method of hair removal with origins in Arabia and South Asia. A very delicate procedure, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Hair is removed by using string or "thread", and pulling out the hairs by the follicle. (information taken from The Beauty Pot web site www.thebeautypot.com/south-asian-beauty/south-asian-skin-...)

Oiko-nomic Threads is an interactive system commenting on the notion of work through the production of a knitted textile. By rethinking and redefining the functionality of an obsolete knitting machine and rendering it part of a new system, the creation of a generative textile is made possible.

Famine is an example of thread painting in the extreme. This piece is made entirely out of thread - like illustrating with of a needle instead of using a ball point pen. The deep ruts in the landscape represent what it feels like to be used up - mentally, physically, and creatively. The horizon is so far away, an uphill climb through rough terrain, almost too far an expanse to travel. All that remains is desolation and despair.

Cotton loom detail
Augusta's major industries in the 1800's were cotton trading and cotton mills, manufacturing cotton cloth. Today there are only two functioning mills left.
The threads in this Zeus crank arm were in really bad shape, so I made a steel insert. Fortunately there were enough of the original threads left to allow me to get the crank arm clamped in my mill vise and preserve the alignment. The photo sequence skips over a couple of failed attempts where I tried to thread the ID of the insert before I put it in the crank arm, and the insert just broke. The final solution was is to cut the pedal threads after the insert was glued in place. Yeah, I know that you can buy kits to do this, but that's no fun.
