‘An Iteration’ is a site specific art installation by artist Charlotte Blake. Charlotte is an artist based in Toronto who currently is focused on weaving; using a 12 shaft loom, she creates 3 dimensional artworks that often incorporate basketry materials and hand dyeing techniques.

On display is a large scale suspended woven artwork (indicative of her current methodology) intended to give a snapshot or peek into the process of creating a three dimensional woven artwork. In this artwork she employs a twill weave structure and incorporates rattan reed. This piece represents a specific point in her process and practice when the woven material is removed from the loom. This stage before a sculpture is formed acts as a demonstration of the nature of repetition and renewal as a means to reach a goal and highlights the involvement of labour in the artistic process. Her work often goes through many iterations before realization, but this one is a constant and one that is often only seen in her studio.
