Textile Sculpture on Black Plinth — Contemporary Art Gallery

5 October 2017 · Paris

A mixed-media sculpture occupies a black plinth at the centre of a white-walled gallery. Wooden rods rise at an angle, draped with white fringe; a bare branch carries green and white pompoms outward like oversized berries. At the base, a textured green mass and a pale cone-shaped form rest together — organic reference and textile craft held in the same object. The work uses soft material and hard form to pull in two directions at once, finding a middle ground that reads as neither purely natural nor purely constructed.
