An artist in her thirties weaves and unravels connections between
the loom and the computer, DNA and technology, dreams and decisions
Thread Ripper is a multi-strand novel about weaving, women, and
programming. In Copenhagen, a tapestry-weaver embarks on her first
big commission, a digitally woven tapestry. As she works, she draws
illuminating connections between all the stuff that life is made
from - DNA, plant tissue, algorithms, text and textile - and that
which disrupts it - radiation, pests, entropy and doubt. In another
strand, we follow Ada Lovelace, the 1830s mathematician and pioneer
of computer programming. And Penelope, the faithful wife of
Odysseus, who wove and unpicked a shroud to put off her 108
suitors. Contemplative yet clear-sighted, Amalie Smith's hybrid
textile of a novel bares the aching but crucial interwovenness of
art and life.
