WITHOUT THE E is a series of pamphlets responding to a presence or an absence felt in contemporary digital culture.

A weaving draft is a kind of notation for planning and sharing woven textile
structures. The threading, along the top, shows how the warp is threaded
through the heddles and frames; the treadling, along the right-hand side, shows
the order in which the treadles of the loom are to be pressed; and the tie-up, in
the upper right-hand corner, shows how each treadle interacts with the loom’s
frames. The drawdown, in the lower left, shows whether the warp or weft will be
on top at any particular intersection of threads—thereby providing a “preview”
of the completed textile. Often a draft diagram will indicate the intended colors
of the warp and weft threads, and the drawdown will show the completed textile’s
color patterns. In “Drafts,” Allison uses letters instead of colors, melding digital weaving with writing.
