Wall Sculpture: 'Digression' No. 1
Wall Sculpture: 'Digression' No. 1
Wall mounted sculpture in natural banana-fibre on metal frame, 70cm diameter x 7cm depth.
Many folded bias pieces of banana-fibre inter-weave, criss-cross and meander over a circular frame, sometimes repeating, sometimes doubling-back, often taking the less obvious path.
My work has always incorporated story-telling, and a sense of ‘taking a line for a walk’. As I worked on this piece, it conjured thoughts of conversations, or journeys… often forging ahead confidently, sometimes meandering or digressing, but always coming to resolutions or destinations.
Original artwork, handmade in London by Karen Henriksen.
Fixings: Although quite large, this piece is light, and hangs on the wall from a single nail or screw. There are no fixings at the back, so it can be hung from any point on the circle, according to your preference.
Despatch is approx 5-10 days from order.
Material: 100% sinamay (banana fibre). Also sometimes called Abaca, it is widely used in the millinery trade - made by independent weavers and small family co-ops in the Phillipines.
Colour: As with most textiles, over time the colour may alter slightly, depending on the conditions of the room, in particular how much sunlight it is exposed to. Even in a very bright setting, it will be a slow, gradual process. The natural colour here may deepen very slightly over time.
Dimensions: Diameter 70cm, depth 7cm. Get in touch if you are interested in commissioning this piece in a different size.
