WOVEN STRUCTURES
Who ever thought that recycled materials such as sewing machine cords, armature wire, duck fabric and screen printing would make up so divinely. Not all materials are textile but the overall design and artistic piece invites variable comments from viewers when discovered on my studio wall.
This was purely an experimental object with the intention of using some off-beat and discarded sewing machine unrepairable items. The screen printing was applied to a piece of ‘duck’ fabric and stuck onto a section of fabric cardboard cylinder. Because the machine flex was not stripped down to the actual wires the weaving has ended up as being open and distended.
There are many techniques and complexity’s just waiting to be discovered in my workshop basement when I look for alternative materials that can be manipulated with some other forms of artistry.
