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
Notes
This piece is an example of complexity in simplicity. Each strand handwoven to create a dedicated pattern of blockwork. There is difference in the thickness, fibre type and fibrousness of the different wool stands, yet they all appear similar and in harmony.
'To me weaving is an adventure, with the excitement of exploring new textures and patterns with every piece I make. There is also a sense of satisfaction in working with my hands. I believe we were all created to create. At the end of the day, I would like to be able to say that I have lived by the following: Make it your ambition to live a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands'
