Schering en Inslag: collectie winter 2020

Schering en inslag zijn weverstermen, die Constant gebruikt om verhalen te weven bij en tussen verschillende projecten. Schering verwijst naar de op het weefgetouw gespannen draden. Op deze website gaat het om documentatie rond bestaande projecten. De inslag is de draad die met behulp van een spoel tussen de scheringdraden door gaat. Inslag zijn thematische verhalen die relaties leggen tussen verschillende projecten.
