Migration Modular Felt Wallpiece, 2004
Felt. 369 cm x 103.5 cm
The composition of this wall hanging from the Modular Series reflects movement and migration. It is made of interlocking, die-cut modules that are attached to one another without the use of sewing, stitching, glue or any other attachment method. They are interconnected based on the design of the individual shapes. The Modular Series expresses the idea that textiles can be dynamic. The series is designed without seams, allowing the pieces to be taken apart and altered. In practice, the process may be tangent to that of recycling in the sense that as one’s desire changes, the garment, wallpiece or object can be remade and preserved in a new form. A bag can be made smaller, a skirt can be lengthened or a wallpiece can be altered to fit new dimensions of space as we change our built environment or move. The texture of the modular textile does not reveal the mechanism of its construction. This wallpiece is made of felt that is specifically suited for this design because it does not fray when cut and can retain very geometric precision.
This piece was exhibited at Talente, Munich in 2004.
