Hand-braided/woven yarn cords
This work is part of a collection of cords referencing the varied geologic formations found within Goleta. The individual cords are woven with a Japanese Marudai loom used for Kumihimo, a traditional Japanese art form of making braids and cords. The colors and various cord patterns represent the visual appearance and textures associated with the lithology in the formations.​

Using Japanese kimono dyeing techniques, this silk banner evokes the scene of diving down into an underwater channel. The floral-like shapes are in reference to a non-toxic species of bioluminescent plankton, Pyrocystis fusiformis. Pyrocystis fusiformis has been observed forming a symbiotic relationship with a species of foraminifera: Globigerinoides sacculifer.
