I’m thinking about tents and Nomadic structures structures where the skin was the textile and it allowed a Nomadic lifestyle”, according to Fairbanks. She says by examining our history of textiles and looking at other cultures it helps her to think about ways to push the process. Historically weaving has been only thought of as a two-dimensional object but Fairbanks wants it to be more three-dimensional.

By making them bold and bright, I sort of foreground a lot of the patterns that are happening at a scale that you usually don’t see with your eye”, according to Fairbanks. “I’m often playing with maybe painterly ideas about mid-ground, background and foreground, but then doing it in relation to textile images and patterns.

For her own practice Fairbanks likes using a Jacquard loom, unusual materials and techniques that challenge the viewer’s perception of what a textile can be. “I don’t work quietly”, according to Fairbanks, “I think sometimes textiles have the potential of being quiet because they are so beautiful.” Fairbanks is “turning up the volume” on weaving with the creation of “The Weaving Lab” where she and her students explore the utilitarian, conceptual and social potential of cloth made in a public space. Now, as an Assistant Professor of Design Studies at the University of Wisconsin Madison Fairbanks is charting new conceptual territories but not in a subtle way. “I like the idea of wonder and your eye being dazzled” says Fairbanks. And then 7 years ago, she re-imagined her solo practice. It’s the engineering of it.” From there, Fairbanks spent time adding to her knowledge and skills with art-curating and working collaboratively on community projects. “How do you put these strings together to make a textile. “When it clicks, it clicks.”, according to Fairbanks, “It just was the materials and processes that sucked me in.” It was also the repetitiveness and problem solving that excited Fairbanks. And the fact that it is a woven surface.” Fairbanks took an unconventional path to weaving while studying painting at the University of Michigan during her second year of college. “I DO want people to look from a distance and see it and be sucked in by how graphic it is even at a long distance and then by walking closer the complexity is revealed.
