I shove large posters through a shredder, in order to cut them into strips. I use the shredder to cut the posters vertically, while cutting them to be weaved-in elements length-wise. I am re-inventing the loom; researching weaving patterns from clothing, carbon fiber chassis from the auto industry, and other possibilities presented in tapestry.
