Michael’s Process

Fishing Net Weaving Gauge and Needle

My game came about as an idea surrounding nets. The fish netting needle and gauge resonated with me. Coming from the old Cree tale of how the Spider gave us the craft of netmaking from her own webs, in an abstract sense the connections

in our knowledge and the points of light that become our understanding so too form like webs. This was the basis of inspiration for my project.

Michael’s Project: Asabikeshiinh

As the spider weaves its web, the fisherman crafts his net in a system of circles and loops. Each circuit around the perimeter adds another layer to the complexity of the design. In Michael’s piece, a story connects each node of the pattern in an interactive game.
