Hitchcock’s Coal 1 Meghan PriceMontreal, QC Size 31.75" x 28.5" Medium Handwoven cotton and video tape “Hitchcock’s Coal,” a series of three details of a diagram made by Orra White Hitchcock in the mid-19th century, employs magnification and weaving to focus on qualities of her medium and subject: ink on linen and structural geology. The behaviour of ink on linen defies the language of diagrams. Hitchcock’s colours bleed through the matrix of her substrate. Hard knowledge dissolves into chromatic pools. Transposed through weaving, Hitchcock’s medium, image, and subject have become entwined via a process akin to sedimentation. The diagram, now object, has moved from being about the world, to being in it.
