in graph paper lines reproduced by hand where the errata make their mark; in maps coded by color and national flags in works that are tapestries rather than painting to sculpture.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the genre crossing I like here: \u00a0the maps, and (below) woven work, some done during a decade of visiting Afghanistan. \u00a0Those carpets must have taken a lot of time and they reproduce bar codes and iPhone scanning. \u00a0Those multicolored paintings are really woven fabrics, cut out and assembled collage style. \u00a0The found object: \u00a0the world. \u00a0The arrangement: \u00a0the world. \u00a0All performed, over time.\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-460 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/dev.jackmakesthings.com\/tor\/bringing-the-world-into-the-world-2\/photo-copy-4-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.jackmakesthings.com\/tor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/photo-copy-4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/dev.jackmakesthings.com\/tor\/bringing-the-world-into-the-world-2\/photo-copy-3-6\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.jackmakesthings.com\/tor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/photo-copy-34-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/dev.jackmakesthings.com\/tor\/bringing-the-world-into-the-world-2\/photo-copy-2-5\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.jackmakesthings.com\/tor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/photo-copy-24-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bringing the world into the world;
