Woven Legacies: Innovation & Tradition

Timed Online Auction, 2 - 24 February 2025

Innovation & Tradition
About the Session

‘Woven Legacies: Innovation & Tradition’ highlights a diverse range of materials, techniques, and processes from various regions, including Southern, Central and Western Africa. These works coalesce utility, aesthetics and cultural identity. From the tactile threads of textiles to the intricate blending of natural fibres in baskets and the sculptural forms of steel, copper, brass and beads, the concept of weaving is reimagined as a metaphor for connection, storytelling and the passing on of tradition.

About this Item

South African 1992-
Measured Breaths I, 2023
two viscose panels woven in shades of black and yellow
61 by 41,5cm, framed

Notes

Measured Breaths I is a landscape woven in viscose with ink and rust in a variable weave that allows for a play in transparency. The two panels of the piece are inverted, perhaps alluding to a change in light, or a shifting perspective. The longer panel drapes and pools into the bottom of the frame, creating a sense of groundedness, while the shorter panel floats in front of it, a breath caught on the exhale.
