Lindsay Preston Zappas

By combining elements of digital media and traditional mediums, LA based artist Lindsay Preston Zappas also uses the human form as a unifier throughout her compositions. Zappas is able to push the traditional role of the loom by weaving with tangible and intangible media to portray concepts, such as the role we play in consumerism. The use of the human body is also a major factor to consider when analyzing these woven bodies of work. While welcoming digital tools like Photoshop and on-demand printing, Zappas also embraces the craft tradition of weaving, drawing connections between the ability of the loom to—like digital media—flatten image and material into one compressed plane.  Zappas has both nationally lectured and while accomplishing many other artistic endeavors.
