Introduction

“YOU STILL CAN’T REALLY PREDICT THOSE MAGIC MOMENTS WHERE A LINE OR COLOUR CROSSES OVER FROM ONE PANEL TO ANOTHER, BUT YOU JUST HOPE IT WORKS. THE WAY THAT I AM CREATING THE WORKS LEAVES MANY SMALL AESTHETIC MYSTERIES THAT ARE ONLY REALLY REVEALED ONCE THE WORK IS SEWN TOGETHER AND STRETCHED—THAT’S WHEN IT ALL COMES TOGETHER AND I GET TO ENCOUNTER IT FULLY.”

 

– BRENT WADDEN, ÉMERGENT MAGAZINE, 2021

布兰特·瓦登(1979年生于加拿大新斯科舍省)将他的抽象编织作品描述为绘画。通过不断重复的几何形状与对称图案,他的画作展示出对现代抽象主义形式和概念的参考,同时也挑战着编织媒介的传统与范式。作为一名自学成才的编织者,瓦登的创作过程是探索性且费时费力的,并且通过经年累月的试错不断扩展,吸收了复杂形式和令人意外的色彩组合。
