I’ll cut them all!

The idea for season XVII came by looking through my archive of industrial fabrics, both linen and wool, selected over time from my suppliers. I felt I wanted to make them more mine and cut them all.  A gut feeling. I should give them a new life, I thought.

The challenge was to establish a weaving structure and yarns that would help the fabric strips speak their own language. A fabric whose behaviour you know, because of its material and structure, changes its essence once reshuffled, and shouts a different message, one that needs to be listened to.

And so, like moving identities, I tried to accompany them into a new life, a beginning.

It requires a deeper, untangled look, one you wouldn't have imagined, and if understood, it leads you to an unexpected beauty.
