Surface in the Making: A Study in Colors and Weaving

Abstract

dc:description.abstractgeneral

A series of surfaces were developed being inspired by the textiles (sarees) of India. The saree was deconstructed, stripped from its mythological and traditional layers of meanings to reveal the threads and was transformed to abstracts that revealed its tectonic characteristics. 18 singular wooden frames were individually woven using cotton threads and then layered to reveal colours and surface qualities. A series of drawings assisted the process to make sense of the spatial quality of the layering of threads.
