Thear are a pair of Jacquard tapestries commissioned for EVOLV rentals, a Daniels development.
The two artworks are woven tapestries based on landscape imagery. The weaving process is complex; produced on a special computer-controlled loom. You might not at first see the ‘Clouds’ and ‘Waves’ that the titles tell you are represented here. Up close, you see the weave of the many coloured threads and the patterns in the material. As you step further away, the images of clouds and waves become apparent. Only at a distance do you see through the material to the illusion of the image. In nature, clouds and waves don’t allow you to see them all at once. As you try to capture one detail in your mind, everything else has shifted away. These tapestries make you aware of how images are constructed in your mind, of how you create your own illusions.
