The works in the Sections (The Other Shapes of Me) series are medium-scale tapestries that push to the limits the weaving possibilities of contemporary digital Jacquard looms.
The artist has compressed his genetic code at the highest weaving resolution technically possible, turning it into a polychrome tapestry whose vertical dimension corresponds to his own height. He has then divided it into vertical strips. The result is a sequence of individual works that correspond to specific sections of his DNA, each as tall as Vavarella is. The particular weave of threads has been determined by the desire to produce a pattern that can potentially be (re)converted into genetic code. The result is a design that does not simply visualize but retains a real correspondence between the synthetic threads that compose the tapestry and the genetic materials of which he is made.
