Boundless Seams explores the work of New York–based designer and embroidery specialist Laura Weber, the artist’s sister, and the first independent designer to create uniforms for Ireland’s Olympians, presented at the 2024 Paris Games. The film is situated alongside the centenary of Ireland’s first appearance as a Free State at the Olympic Games in Paris in 1924.
Beyond the historic context, the film observes the daily rhythms and relationships that sustain a life’s work across different careers. It traces the intersection of seemingly distinct fields of embroidery and sport, united by movement, dedication, and care. Through expressive filmmaking and sonic composition, Boundless Seams brings these worlds into dialogue.
