Fall Fabric 2020 Sol LeWitt inspired Handwoven Artwork
Inspired by Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawing 391, my handwoven artwork is an homage to his bold vision, feast of colors and patterns, and his collective teamwork. Sol LeWitt: A Wall Drawing Retrospective at The Mass MoCA is comprised of 105 of his illuminating artworks across three historic buildings. On a trip to North Adams, Massachusetts, viewing his work was a shot of joy and hope proving his art's visual and mental transcendence.
This is 4 separate, framed, handwoven textiles sold together. They are framed behind glass (fabric is not touching the glass) in black, aluminum frames. The outside of the frames measure 13" by 13" frame with a 1/4" lip folding inside. Black matte measuring 1.5" on all sides contains a 10" square of the handwoven textile. The artwork was woven with purple wool, colorful cottons, and a tinsel rayon/polyester blend. It has been sewn to muslin and affixed to the backboard of the frame. No tape is touching the handwoven textile. I have hung this artwork to what is visually pleasing for me, but the options are endless for you.
I wanted to compare Sol LeWitt's mediums with weaving. This weaving is a summer and winter pattern developed by me. It is woven with 3 different yarns, one being sparkly to catch your eye around the room. I wove this artwork on a beautiful Fireside Loom. All the pattern-making and sewing is done in my studio, Sideshow Textile Studio. Each handmade textile I create is seasonally inspired by a specific artwork or museum exhibit. Each fabric will only be woven once ever, making it truly one of a kind.
Textiles are sensitive to light, best to hang in a shady corner of your home.
This piece was inspired by my first 2 foster children. 5% of the profits will go towards The Village, a support group for Rhode Island Foster children and families.
