Tali Weinberg

Tali Weinberg: The Space Between the Threads features 30 of the artist’s woven and coiled Climate Datascapes.

Using data about our warming climate, Tali Weinberg’s textiles weave together science and art to tell intertwined stories of land and water, people and landscapes, and ecological and human health. The Space Between Threads  offers the opportunity to reflect on the profound but often unacknowledged web of relationships that connect global systems to our personal experiences.

“…in a twist of beauty woven with ugly evidence, Weinberg’s art portrays the dreadful dangers of Earth’s worsening climate crisis. Lovely to behold, one piece suspended like a giant diaphanous scarf is delicate and iridescent as a dragonfly wing. Woven with dyed linen interspersed with monofilament fishing line, the luminous weaving — like other works in the show — artistically documents alarming climate data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Weinberg’s works intertwine NOAA’s numerical information with landscape and humanity.”

"Anyone who’s tried to untangle a ball of yarn understands that fibers have a habit of knotting in ways that can seem impossible to unwind. These twisting, interlaced qualities ground much of Tali Weinberg’s fiber-based work as she pulls at the individual threads of our changing climate, using abstract weavings and textile sculptures to explore the inextricable nature of the crisis and the necessity for human intervention."
