Wool Works by Craftwork

August 26, 2009

Wool Works is an exhibition of contemporary textile works designed and hand made by Craftwork at Exposure Gallery in London. The exhibit comprises of two large-scale hanging textile artworks made from natural wool & aluminum. In making these works, Craftwork mainly focused on building bridges between the disciplines of art, craft, design and fashion.

Using aluminum and natural wool top slivers, each screen is a collection of long hanks of wool hand made and twisted into rope. These rope strands are bound together by combining knotting and held in place with powder coated / mirrored aluminum tubes. Craftwork signature Pompoms punctuate and locate the macramé knots woven through. In these beautiful works, there is a strong visual interplay between graphics, materials and textures whilst fusing large-scale textile design with jewelry.

The exhibit runs from September 15, 2009, to October 30, 2009 at Exposure Gallery, and travels to Red Bull Fashion Factory for London Fashion Week.
