Published: 07.03.2024
This work employs a sculptural approach to textiles and upholstery techniques to explore the significance of the column form, which recurs in architectural traditions across cultures in various guises. Here a totem has been created from repurposed foam mattresses which have been cut into slices and covered with intricate handwoven French linens to create 82 cushions. Each cushion was stacked and then bound together using yarn. By varying the degree of tension in each knot, the compression of the foam is controlled and manipulated.
