Warped Space
(The Things We Carry With Us / The Things We Left Behind) 2018
Linen, Jute, OSB Board, CLS Wood, Travelling Trunk.
The tension of the warp thread repeatedly connects two opposing sides.
The weft thread pulls together the closing gap, forming a construction of immense strength and flexibility.
Utilising the global language of textile construction, artist Helen Angell-Preece establishes a Threshold Space for the viewer to negotiate and inhabit.
An architectural intervention of Linen, Jute, Felt and everyday building materials, is a timely reminder, not only of Scotland’s colonial histories of textile trade and manufacture, but of the personal significance of our everyday materiality in establishing our human ‘being’ within the world.
