Kathie Halfin is a textile, performance and installation artist. In her work, Halfin explores textile's ability to uphold information and act as a carrier of history, language and resistance. Halfin’s textiles contain coded messages based on English, Russian and Hebrew versions of the Morse Code. Creation of the coded, handmade fabrics is a slow meditative act of transformation and empowerment. Her woven artworks draw attention to sensorial, ritualistic and temporal aspects of the coded message and create space for more holistic and slow way to define and judge words. The story that Halfin tells by the means of the Morse Code is inspired by her family history, as her grandfather was a pilot communicating by the means of Morse Code signals in the Soviet Army during the WWII. At the same time, Halfin’s sculptural weavings serve as spiritual reminders of collective power and personal agency. Kathie seeks to present language as a poem, pattern and movement that initiates an open ended space to empower and liberate.
