I grew up in the religious South during the AIDS crisis, in a world that offered very few possibilities for imagining a future that included love, partnership, or family. I had crushes like any teenager, of course, but those feelings came with fear, shame, and the sense that the life I wanted might never be available to me. For this series, I returned to the images that had captured my imagination as a young man: football players, cowboys, boys dancing at raves, and photographs from XY magazine. Some represented the boys I might have fallen for. Others were archetypes of masculinity I was drawn to but didn't quite understand. I began reconstructing these figures in fabric, creating portraits that exist somewhere between memory, fantasy, and an imagined past. Quilts are traditionally objects of inheritance, made to be kept, cherished, and passed down through generations. There's something moving to me about using that tradition to create heirlooms for moments that never occurred. These quilts don't document the adolescence I experienced. Instead, they imagine one in which having a crush on another boy didn't have to become a crisis, and the possibility of loving someone, and being loved in return, was never in question. <img

https://gregclimer.com/Animated-Quilt-of-Nathan-and-Bryan Thu, 25 May 2023 21:29:06 +0000 Greg Climer - artist and designer https://gregclimer.com/Animated-Quilt-of-Nathan-and-Bryan Animated Quilt of Nathan and Bryan&nbsp; &nbsp; What began as an experiment in turning quilts into moving images became a six-year project to produce just a few seconds of animation. I filmed my friends Nathan and Bryan exchanging a kiss on the cheek, then selected 36 frames from the footage. Each frame became its own three-by-four-foot quilt, constructed from tiny pieces of fabric. In total, the project contains nearly 59,000 fabric squares. The finished quilts were photographed and assembled into an animation that plays on a continuous loop. Initially, I was interested in the technical challenge. Could I take something as slow and physical as quilting and use it to create a moving image? I loved the absurdity of the idea. But as the project stretched from months into years, my understanding of the work began to change. I was spending an extraordinary amount of time reconstructing an ordinary moment of affection between two men. The animation is simply a kiss on the cheek. Nothing particularly dramatic happens. But the gesture repeats endlessly, never progressing into anything more. What began as an experiment in craft and technology became something much more personal: an exploration of tenderness, intimacy, and the desire to hold onto a fleeting moment. I spent six years making a few seconds of affection, and somewhere along the way, the time and care involved in making the work became inseparable from its meaning. <img width="3315" height="2262" width_o="3315" height_o="2262" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a96be37c78bde59cc31f0852afd2a3e2393ef1a0f02c8f28868f5cc9702a59a4/Nathan-all-36-laid-out-in-grid.jpg" data-mid="180000411" border="0" alt="36 quilts in sequence. each 36&quot; x 48&quot;" data-caption="36 quilts in sequence. each 36&quot; x 48&quot;" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a96be37c78bde59cc31f0852afd2a3e2393ef1a0f02c8f28868f5cc9702a59a4/Nathan-all-36-laid-out-in-grid.jpg" /> <img width="5472" height="3648" width_o="5472" height_o="3648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6c7bb618e3933e9953e8df6c2e2564f20c85e52df151702288a99f880112f162/StackedQuilt01.JPG" data-mid="180000434" border="0" alt="stack of 36 quilts, 36&quot; x 48&quot;" data-caption="stack of 36 quilts, 36&quot; x 48&quot;" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6c7bb618e3933e9953e8df6c2e2564f20c85e52df151702288a99f880112f162/StackedQuilt01.JPG" /> https://gregclimer.com/Textile-Collage-Quilts-1 Thu, 25 May 2023 21:29:06 +0000 Greg Climer - artist and designer https://gregclimer.com/Textile-Collage-Quilts-1 Textile Collage Quilts Textile Collages This series began with a practical problem: I wanted to find a faster way to make quilts. My pixelated quilts required cutting and sewing together hundreds, sometimes thousands, of individual fabric squares. I began experimenting with printing photographs directly onto different textiles, then cutting and reassembling them to create new compositions. What started as a shortcut quickly became an entirely new way of making images. By combining different fabrics, shifting parts of photographs, and sometimes bringing together images captured at different moments, I discovered that I could introduce a sense of movement into an otherwise static image. Figures seemed to shift, gestures repeated, and moments overlapped. The distortions began to suggest something about the way we experience time and remember people. We don't necessarily remember someone as a single frozen image, but through an accumulation of gestures, expressions, and fleeting moments. I became particularly interested in the sense of yearning these images could create. There's something about a figure appearing in several moments at once that suggests both presence and absence, as though we're trying to hold onto something that has already passed. The seams physically bring those different moments together, making the passage of time something tangible. I hadn't set out to make work about memory or longing. I was simply trying to make quilts faster. But once again, experimenting with the process led me somewhere I hadn't anticipated. Each quilt is made from custom designed and printed textiles. All quilts 100% cotton with cotton batting. <img width="2733" height="2522" width_o="2733" height_o="2522" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7720e7a9ff1b37b2dae8ee9ed2cdd1b96076e12eb74ac89ca16254d58520adaf/Floral-Ice-Cream-Young-Man-1-SMALL.jpg" data-mid="204421602" border="0" alt="Young Man with Ice Cream #1 18&quot;

The knit film, “untitled test”, is a long-term project in which I am collaborating with a knitwear factory to translate a film into a knitted piece. This piece represents a proof of concept for the film, demonstrating the animated knit technique. Digital technology has replaced celluloid as our primary medium for storing cinematic images. Digital technology has also opened up possibilities in manufacturing of clothing and textiles which did not exist even 20 years ago. By knitting a film, one frame at a time, I am celebrating our technology’s new capabilities, our knitting craftsmen’s newest incarnation, and questioning the tangible aspects of film. Is the medium of the film equal to the content? Textile based imagery is older than celluloid yet this project could not exist without digital technology moving film beyond celluloid. So is this cutting edge or old fashioned? Like all my work, its a merging of the oldest crafts and the newest technologies to help us imagine new crafts from our old technologies. <img width="2736" height="3254" width_o="2736" height_o="3254" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eb227ec1673b73711a3e12a1ea35e0635ff2c4abc90743b378f82fdd83fd3d90/Climer_KnittedFilm.jpg" data-mid="180002063" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eb227ec1673b73711a3e12a1ea35e0635ff2c4abc90743b378f82fdd83fd3d90/Climer_KnittedFilm.jpg" /> <img width="3648" height="2736" width_o="3648" height_o="2736" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/03656b20031ed9c96f2a99c054a4d6ef11cf18e163f7aac3828113edc3710335/Climer_KnittedFilmDetail1.JPG" data-mid="180002065" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/03656b20031ed9c96f2a99c054a4d6ef11cf18e163f7aac3828113edc3710335/Climer_KnittedFilmDetail1.JPG" /> <img width="979" height="701" width_o="979" height_o="701" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5500fd0ec79344d92f23ea6990598ca7f84ef27d2b604b3455793112bee09805/Climer_KnittedFilm_singleframe.jpg" data-mid="180002071" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/979/i/5500fd0ec79344d92f23ea6990598ca7f84ef27d2b604b3455793112bee09805/Climer_KnittedFilm_singleframe.jpg" /> https://gregclimer.com/Porn-Quilts Thu, 25 May 2023 21:29:07 +0000 Greg Climer - artist and designer https://gregclimer.com/Porn-Quilts Porn Quilts I began making these quilts using images from gay pornography. At first, I was interested in the tension between explicit sex and quilting, a medium so closely associated with warmth, comfort, and generations of women's creative labor. There was something both funny and defiant about taking an image meant to be consumed in an instant and spending weeks turning it into an object meant to last. Over time, something else began to emerge. Pornography repackages the actions of love—desire, fantasy, sex, and intimacy—without the love itself. By pixelating these images and slowly rebuilding them in fabric, I began to sand down some of their harder edges. The images became quieter, softer, and unexpectedly tender. I hadn't set out to make quilts about longing. But the longer I worked with these images, the more I recognized something underneath the sexual spectacle: a desire to touch and be touched, to love and be loved. What began as an exploration of gay sexuality became, in many ways, an exploration of our desire for love. Each quilt is made from custom designed and printed textiles. All quilts 100% cotton with cotton batting and sewn by the artist. <img width="576" height="728" width_o="576" height_o="728" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c4bd8fd9a4c603dd063f23ab48c003c288ffd8113e32b4d46ad8cb3232e05a37/Two-Twinks-in-Bed--SMALL.jpg" data-mid="179992035" border="0" alt="Two Young Men in Bed. 43&quot; x 33&quot;" data-caption="Two Young Men in Bed. 43&quot; x 33&quot;" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/576/i/c4bd8fd9a4c603dd063f23ab48c003c288ffd8113e32b4d46ad8cb3232e05a37/Two-Twinks-in-Bed--SMALL.jpg" /> <img width="576" height="624" width_o="576" height_o="624" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5aed997ba0040e4a275ccc3c04e3bec624ed1ea57b5f7a656dbaec726acf2ad2/three-men-in-underwear-SMALL-WEB.jpg" data-mid="180159914" border="0" alt="Three Men. 38&quot; x 42&quot;" data-caption="Three Men. 38&quot; x 42&quot;" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/576/i/5aed997ba0040e4a275ccc3c04e3bec624ed1ea57b5f7a656dbaec726acf2ad2/three-men-in-underwear-SMALL-WEB.jpg" /> <img width="576" height="576" width_o="576" height_o="576" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fcf2cc216554dcb51ea29d29d7e579f074262b5bca2f01514fbac64a7f6193b6/Twinks-in-Leather-SMALL.jpg" data-mid="179992038" border="0" alt="Twinks in leather. 36&quot; x 36&quot;." data-caption="Twinks in leather. 36&quot; x 36&quot;." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/576/i/fcf2cc216554dcb51ea29d29d7e579f074262b5bca2f01514fbac64a7f6193b6/Twinks-in-Leather-SMALL.jpg" /> <img width="654" height="982" width_o="654" height_o="982" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/27fe3804ab054b36f85c8668df7bfb8a6ae40282584ffc2f832b23bf7a153be3/GregClimer-Two-Men-Lavender-54-x-35-WEB.jpg" data-mid="180080221" border="0" alt="Two Men (lavender background). 54&quot; x 35&quot;" data-caption="Two Men (lavender background). 54&quot; x 35&quot;" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/654/i/27fe3804ab054b36f85c8668df7bfb8a6ae40282584ffc2f832b23bf7a153be3/GregClimer-Two-Men-Lavender-54-x-35-WEB.jpg" /> <img width="456" height="576" width_o="456" height_o="576" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/324a6a776a713ec2815d1d06b088f91f7c39a092f5002e639f840d1ed2659f78/Two-guys-sucking-a-dick-SMALL.jpg" data-mid="179999725" border="0" alt="Two Men sucking a dick. 48&quot; x 39&quot;" data-caption="Two Men sucking a dick. 48&quot; x 39&quot;" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/456/i/324a6a776a713ec2815d1d06b088f91f7c39a092f5002e639f840d1ed2659f78/Two-guys-sucking-a-dick-SMALL.jpg" /> <img width="515" height="648" width_o="515" height_o="648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0f2e7cc24dafbbf2a550a41c6cf7326b40bc4ab75e98565486041f7203cdee37/FistFuckQuilt-WEB.jpg" data-mid="180080387" border="0" alt="Fist Fuck. 41&quot; x 33&quot;" data-caption="Fist Fuck. 41&quot; x 33&quot;" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/515/i/0f2e7cc24dafbbf2a550a41c6cf7326b40bc4ab75e98565486041f7203cdee37/FistFuckQuilt-WEB.jpg" /> <img width="611" height="720" width_o="611" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5234eb4e163dbb1f0254dc5b7c2a8bf3468d31ab2daa2d09bea2886613db14e1/ThreeBearsQuiltCLIMER.jpg" data-mid="179992040" border="0" alt="Three Bears.

The collections were approached as an immersive art project: each one was themed around a different, completely fabricated history of the label’s name.

The letters are laser cut and machine sewn, creating a labor-intensive object where simpler methods such as silk screening could have generated an acceptable effect. The work utilizes new technology tools to further the possibilities of traditional handicrafts. The four shown here are “Its takes more than fucking someone you don’t know to keep warm”, “spread love like violence”, “Don’t be afraid I don’t love you, be afraid that I do”, and “Things will shortly be completely out of hand.” <img width="504" height="378" width_o="504" height_o="378" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/102a25a978007e35178ddff3d7315a21c390cbfffab6b0a5bd03604cf92241b9/DontBEBedSpread01WEB.jpg" data-mid="180090543" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/504/i/102a25a978007e35178ddff3d7315a21c390cbfffab6b0a5bd03604cf92241b9/DontBEBedSpread01WEB.jpg" /> <img width="378" height="504" width_o="378" height_o="504" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5caff7df0c6da39b63a5d9c224e6b4b2330e8c7e44b83941f0e9a5add44890bf/ItTakesMoreBedspread03WEB.jpg" data-mid="180090544" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/378/i/5caff7df0c6da39b63a5d9c224e6b4b2330e8c7e44b83941f0e9a5add44890bf/ItTakesMoreBedspread03WEB.jpg" /> <img width="504" height="378" width_o="504" height_o="378" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/884471b63b72dfdd6260c8e4de6c25617caf0d4a90a14033f77be80b4c3c4d54/OutofHandBedSpread01editWEB.jpg" data-mid="180090545" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/504/i/884471b63b72dfdd6260c8e4de6c25617caf0d4a90a14033f77be80b4c3c4d54/OutofHandBedSpread01editWEB.jpg" /> <img width="504" height="378" width_o="504" height_o="378" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2ffdbb615481c588c56759ff8b034a09ac89cd5b37d1694df66ac1226094a4a1/SpreadViolenceBedSpread02WEB.jpg" data-mid="180090546" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/504/i/2ffdbb615481c588c56759ff8b034a09ac89cd5b37d1694df66ac1226094a4a1/SpreadViolenceBedSpread02WEB.jpg" /> https://gregclimer.com/photo-projector Thu, 25 May 2023 21:29:15 +0000 Greg Climer - artist and designer https://gregclimer.com/photo-projector Photo Projector&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The picture projector project started as an exploration of pixels and animation.

Untitled from G.J.Climer on Vimeo. https://gregclimer.com/Portrait Thu, 25 May 2023 21:29:12 +0000 Greg Climer - artist and designer https://gregclimer.com/Portrait Portrait&nbsp; &nbsp; As a pattern maker in the fashion industry, I became fascinated by the process of tailoring garments to fit around the organic shapes of the human body. While Nature uses flexible and highly adaptable skin to cover our bones, we often invert this process through the act of tailoring. We employ clever techniques of sewing and cutting in order to create rigid and highly structured shapes to cover the organic body beneath. The Face Pattern is a sewing pattern for a human face if the base material were a woven fabric. Darts and seams are used to create contour, just as one would with a corset or suit. The project plays with the idea that often the simple solution is not the best solution. <img width="1024" height="682" width_o="1024" height_o="682" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/33bf6b309059aeb266e453c15fccbc9b90c8b71b27dd95003f658da665746aa3/faceclose5-1024x682.jpg" data-mid="180092513" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/33bf6b309059aeb266e453c15fccbc9b90c8b71b27dd95003f658da665746aa3/faceclose5-1024x682.jpg" /> <img width="633" height="1024" width_o="633" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/03b4574810ebe83f8fc9caa9a87cb10507d1c4d0f757cbab326f4050f595bcd8/facepattern5-633x1024.jpg" data-mid="180092514" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/633/i/03b4574810ebe83f8fc9caa9a87cb10507d1c4d0f757cbab326f4050f595bcd8/facepattern5-633x1024.jpg" />
