Fabric at a Massive Scale

Artists,Reference — Jean Kwon @ 12:20 pm

Recalling an artist we looked at earlier, Do Ho Suh, I was drawn to his ability to create such an unusual space using fabrics extending from the ceiling.  Studio Lilica is another group of artists who explores ways of creating sculptural pieces or lightings using fabric that extends from the ceiling. 

I find both aesthetic and metaphoric beauty in the extension of fabrics at a mass scale. The environment it creates is very mystical, putting you at a setting simliar to a deep forest full of trees overwhelming, with path of shadows on the ground. They are both environments you can only experience in vey specific places.

Ronan And Erwan Bouroullec are another architects who create overwhelming space using textiles.

“This is a modular room-dividing system called Clouds consists of textile pieces held together with elastic bands to make free-standing or hanging structures, which can be used to divide space and absorb sound.”

It seems evident that when we use fabrics/textiles sculpturally, we percieve the material in a completely different way from seeing them as a material for clothing.
