A strange, suspended composition combining embroidered textiles, triangular mirror inlays, and polychrome metallic threads.
The work develops an aesthetic that is both ritualistic and modernist, evoking certain explorations in 1970s textile art as well as the nomadic and votive influences then prevalent in Parisian artistic circles.
The geometric repetition of the triangles and the presence of the mirrors produce an object that is ambiguous, somewhere between ceremonial adornment, wall talisman, and flexible sculpture.
This piece comes directly from the home of the writer, painter, and poet Jean Demélier, a figure closely associated with the experimental and poetic artistic circles of the French scene in the 1970s and 80s.
