Stitches in the air

This is my take on a workshop with Jean Draper, a textile artist who makes wonderful sculpture work : a raised piece of textured work, consisting of three different layers of structured meshes.

The layers are separately stitched in frames. When they were merged I added some stitching, fabric and paper.

For now the piece is displayed on the wall, allowing the light to filter through, which creates interesting shadows.






These are the different layers, made with different yarns and cords, still on the frames. I actually also like them this way!

  1. Amai Mieke, wel knap met die verschillende lagen! Ik dacht eerst dat er gevlochten takken bij waren, heel organisch! Mooi met die schaduwen er achter!
