Exhibitor’s text
The shifting and breakdown of colors captivate the eye, drawing one into a digital realm where the viewer automatically seeks to decipher the underlying grid and system. The textile patchwork provides surface, tactility, and depth, all of which are influenced by light as an additional dimension. Alternating between analog and digital, there is an effort to distort and displace geometric principles, creating a kind of optical illusion. The artwork highlights the contrast between analog and digital craftsmanship.
