COTTON WRAP "CONSTRUCTED"

CHF 120.00

This scarf started with a visit to a museum in Bern.

The Zentrum Paul Klee was showing a solo exhibition of Anni Albers, one of the great weavers of the 20th century, a Bauhaus student who turned thread into architecture and pattern into something close to philosophy. She spent her life refusing to separate craft from art, function from beauty.

Standing in front of one of her woven pieces became the seed of this design. The piece is a horizontal weaving of bands in different widths and weights, shifting across the fabric without ever quite lining up. Some are narrow, almost like a drawn line. Others are wide and flat.

What followed was a wandering through images and eras, the way your mind moves through a museum when no one's waiting for you. One thing leads to another. Nothing quite explains itself.

The colour palette of cream, ochre, burnt orange, several greys, camel and black borrowed directly from this woven piece and kept intact, because the palette was already perfect. Woven from a fine cotton thread, the scarf is soft and slightly sheer.

Wear it to the next exhibition you wander through or gift it to someone who would.
