Moving first over and across, we examine Alber’s discussions of different scales of weaving, from the hand loom to industrial machinery. Traversing then downward and below, we consider Alber’s attention to the body, those fingers and hands interlacing threads along a pliable plane. Shifting around and through, we consider how an affect is present in Alber’s reflections, and especially in how it pulls against the sturdy mechanistic logics visibly organizing her process. Across this writing, we hope to think with Albers, reading her prose somewhat against the grain of conventional Bauhaus accounts by interweaving a feminist positioning.
