From Selvage to Selvage: the Passing on of Patterns 2017 |
From Selvage to Selvage: the Passing on of Patterns is made from different cleaning materials and moving blankets, which refers to a tradition within textile art and handicraft to use materials that are at hand. The installation is constructed by forms and shapes taken from the work of over 50 female textile designers from the 1850s to today. Emphasis is placed on western modernism during the 1920s and 1930s. The artists included have in common their connection to abstract art, as well as occupying the liminal space between art, handicraft, design and architecture.
