New gailkenning.com website under construction ......details coming soon Pattern as Process DVD ROM June 2011 will see the publication of Gail Kenning's Pattern as Process DVD ROM Details coming soon. Interweave Sue Pedley & Gail Kenning
Gail Kenning and Sue Pedley share an interest in pattern and processes. Kenning works with form, structure, code and data to create patterns that seemingly dissolve into random or develop into chaos. These emerging patterns are exhibited in the form of programmed animations and physical lace, woven or knitted artefacts. Pedley draws out connections between people, places and objects. These patterns are exhibited as animations and collages. The recent body of work involves interweaving paper and textiles found in an abandoned house in Teshima, a small fishing village in Japan.

ISEA2009, The 15th International Symposium on Electronic Art23 August – 1 September 2009
For a week at the end of August, the University of Ulster was host to ISEA2009: The 15th International Symposium on Electronic Art. For the first time in the 20 years distinguished history of this international forum, 500 delegates from all over the world came together on the island of Ireland to explore the interface of art, design, advanced electronic and digital technologies, science and communication. ISEA 2009: In Septemeber 2009 Gail Kenning presented details of her ongoing research digital textles patterns. 'Digital Doilies: A site of convergence and emergence?' examined how digital media and new technologies can potentially offer new possibilties for lace patterns and collaborative possibilities for lace-maker.

Textiles Conference of America to see Emergent Digital Patterns: Sydney artist, Gail Kenning, presented examples of her experimental digital patterns to the Textiles Conference of America conference in Hawaii September 25 2008. As part of her PhD research, Kenning took traditional patterns from crochet lace and algorithmically explored how the patterns could be evolved to form new shapes. The result is a kaleidoscope of different coloured patterns, some of which dissolve into chaos, while others mutate into interesting new shapes. (See Digital Art for sample of Gail Kenning's work.)
