CONCRETE
-
Other than water, there is no substance on earth that humans use more than concrete. An interesting foundational piece, CONCRETE, with its broken slab of a shape, is offered with a roughed-up and worn-down oxidized wool or a traditional cut pile – with contrasting soft and shimmery silk rising above the ground to add endless textural variation. (There is no pattern or repeat.) The human element is inserted into the design with the jagged edge at one end, indicating the slopes where the neck meets the shoulders.
