Untitled, Ayse Simsek
Woven silk
My work explores ways of combining high contrasts together to create woven textiles and wrappings. I have developed a collection of one-off, hand-woven textiles and art pieces, with a range of upholstery and interior fabrics to complement it. I have experimented with weaving techniques that can allow these contrasts to work together in either subtle or more surprising ways, using gradating colours and textures, varying weight and opacity, and pattern.
