In Technological Legacy the electronic aspect of our present Western society has been chosen to represent today's culture. The circuit board, with its computer chips, is portrayed as the background upon which the artifacts of our contemporary society are built. |

A third layer was added for the artifacts because two layers of warp were needed just for the background of this piece. The use of supplementary weft created ghost-images of computer chips showing through the appliances, machines, and gadgets, signifying the fact that electronic circuitry makes possible our fast transportation, easily-prepared meals, constantly-available entertainment, long-distance communication, and instant retrieval of information. Dominating all is the ubiquitous computer. The cars running around the border and the telephones dancing between everything, both symbols of our contemporary life style, set a mood of both whimsy and frantic energy which typify present-day society. |
