Wallworks
Matrix 1
The regimented grid is softened and made yielding in this fiber-art wall hanging. Composed of hundreds of torn strips and scraps of luxury wools, silks, and cotton, Matrix 1 has been assembled to test our notions of order and precision. The white-on-ecru palette is crisp without being cold, like sunbleached sails on a ship. At the perimeter of the work, the remnants overhang into space, further defying boundaries.

Wallworks, in their most essential guise, are large-scale, one-of-a-kind wall hangings felted from reclaimed EILEEN FISHER clothing. The variety of materials, colors, and hand-arranged compositions renders each piece wholly unique. The size and textural quality of Wallworks make for a stunning addition to private and public spaces alike, providing visual impact and a modicum of acoustic dampening. Wallworks were first displayed in the Waste No More exhibit at Salone Internazionale del Mobile di Milano, the prestigious furniture and design trade fair.
