One thing that I hope is for people to viscerally experience ikat in that the installation is made up of some the 6000 and some odd lines hanging down with patterns on them and it's very repetitive as Chinami said even making the work was was making it was very repetitive we were measuring the same things over and over and binding the same things over and over dying the same things over and over. But there is sort of a really powerful accumulation in that work and through that process that is really a foundation of all I I would think of all the works in the exhibit right.
