i have been collecting some things and found these lovely repair jobs - was enjoying them so much had to share
there were a few different handstyles
but the spiral ones i like the most
very lovely
very very
am using these objects
as a basis for new work
yay
i like that they come with
a story already
patched upon
their surface
YUMMY. wander over to http://www.srithreads.com and have a look at sakaburo...and everything else there that's deliciously patched.
ReplyDeletein a textile warehouse in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago i spent twenty minutes untangling a 7 metrelong x 20cm wide silk length that reads as one long story of darning and patching and suturing.
still gazing at it raptly wondering whether i dare to intervene...
oooh i reckon....painted over some of the stitching and now regretful! Sounds like a 7m length of treasure!
ReplyDeletethanx for link - my god they are beautifullllllllllll
the stitching is wonderfull
things...anything broken and restitched together seems to sing at the mo!
have you had a look at Dorothy Caldwell's work? there's a nice link to her "in good repair" exhibition from the side-bar of my blog...
