Digital weavery

at Bomuldsfabrikken kunsthall, Arendal.
Oh, bliss! What a
treat!
This exhibition at
Bomuldsfabrikken is a must see: large tableaus of digitally made images transferred
onto weavery. The theme is "water marks" and we are introduced to
different aspect of water marks and motives on textile. Dry and juicy! Clear on
soft! Shiny on absorbent! Bringing the idea of water closer and more relevant
by the use of textile as a medium of transfer, as a part of the message itself.
Water is successfully
transmitted by use of digital technology. It is as if the motives via the
process become double present in the media and format, keeping its dynamic and
fresh appearance on the textile. How well the importance and actuality of fresh
water on the planet is transferred carefully via textiles!
