As I Weave is a new body of work by artist and teacher Aasha John, bringing together woven photographic pieces that explore family histories and connections shaped between Trinidad and London. Each work begins with family photographs and recorded conversations, translated through the slow, tactile process of weaving. Threads intersect, pull and resist, binding images that are often incomplete, fractured or partially obscured.

Working with her family archive, John approaches weaving as both a method of making and a way of thinking. Photographs are cut, reassembled and interlaced, creating surfaces that hold multiple stories at once. Memories shift, overlap and at times fall apart; gaps and silences remain visible within the work. These absences are not resolved but held in tension, reflecting the complexities of remembering across generations shaped by migration and distance.
