‘Passementerie…solder repair’….Lisa Mota.
An innocent repair
the repair of fragile clothing with solder evolved as an idea when weaving with vintage metal threads that had been destined to become ’passementerie’.
Passementerie is hand made braid, tassels, cord that decorated clothes and interiors; a sign of wealth and status.
Much appreciated @lisamota_❤️

from two in one…Miwa Kakuta
A curtain of butter beans-the larger beans Miwa bought in the UK, the smaller beans were sourced in Taiwan. @yahahatw commissioned a piece of work as a consequence of the residency Miwa undertook there earlier this year. The curtain is a comment on the blurring of identity, where one is from, chooses to live-and to work. Social camouflage.
Many thanks to Miwa for the work and the install yesterday. Thanks also to Sadi @odd_fragments for your assistance-it is much appreciated.
Thank you to everyone who came to the pv. It was a smashing afternoon ❤️ Photos by @michael_f_eng 05.10.24

‘If you must know, this is the shading structure above a glass roof that sits right next to a mirror polished stainless steel ceiling.
It is fragmented to prevent solar gain only where necessary whilst maximising daylight.
The result is a layered composition of not just steel and glass but also of the surrounding vegetation, the sky and even dirt. Crucially it is the reflection of reflections of all these aspects combined that are responsible for this stark juxtaposition of a modern geometry and the organic world.’

dog ball 2024 @charlottevanberckel_
day 1
Dog ball, 2024.
Part 1
Temporary installation @charlottevanberckel_ ‘A thing of glory, a moment of drama, a sight to behold.
This temporary installation is a canvas of modern life in the form of a dog ball (some may say rogue), a shop window and the high street.
It uses gesture, action and intervention to describe the disruptive physicality of the fleeting moment and the spectacle of the everyday.’
Many thanks to Charlotte for the work…part 2 coming soon

Tingting Xiao…conceptual woven bag
@arieeelll33…
‘The ‘Conceptual Woven Bag’ 2024 is inspired by the traditional Cheongsam patterning process, I prefer to create complete designs in a continuous plain weaving process and then fold them into 3D works of art. In terms of function this design method is both aesthetically pleasing and durable with minimal fabric waste.
The colours and natural yarn selection reflects my preference for the beauty of the yarn and of weave structures; the soft focus of cotton, the shimmer of raw silk and the toughness of hemp provide both a contrast and a practical value.
I am inspired by the work of Fukumi Shimura and Anni Albers alongside traditional tapestry techniques.’
01-11th August 2024. Many thanks to Tingting for the work and the conversations.
