Moistest Shade of Thou
Modes of existence and interaction between humans and objects are what is at the source of my interest for the decorative function and its ideological imprint. Images as ornaments encrypt meaning and value into the fabric of an object and stimulate an interpassive relationship with its owners which equates to a linguistic of alchemistic properties. As textile sculptures, the three panels of digitally printed fabric may refer to a living room curtain. Each of the panels are composed of different series of scavenged images representing fictive elemental categories : suspension and table lamps, gardening hoses, water and human hands. These symbols are virtually and materially woven into intricate grid patterns loosely inspired from jacquard, argyle and tartan tradition. “The Moistest Shade of Thou” is a sort of omen to the fragility of the interdependent connections between the self and its material reality.
