Wauw to Weavings

I don't know what it is about weavings for the moment, but I absolutely wauw it and the past couple of months, while I've been seeing more and more of it, I've been thinking of buying one myself, just to try it out... One thing is for sure though – it'll take me a very long time, and I will probably never do anything as beautiful and simple as these weavings by Brook&Lyn. They are truly amazing and I love the colours! Mimi Jung and Brian Hurewitz founded their creative studio in 2009, where they also produce handmade one-of-a-kind wooden furniture, ceramics, housewares and jewelry.

Hypnopompic Hallucination

Besides beeing an exceptional state of sensory confusion leading out of sleep, in which one may experience the presence of, or see creatures and animals, such as spiders, monkeys and insects, Hypnopompic is also the name of a series of truly amazing tapestries by Finnish artist and graphic designer Kustaa Saksi, living and working in Amsterdam. The unique artworks are manufactured with jacquard weaving technique and made of mohair and alpaca wool, cotton and synthetic materials, such as phosphate and metallic acrylic thread. I think I just might crash on the sofa and try to hallucinate on of these beautiful tapestries on my wall. Sleep tight - or not that tight? Via Arcademi.

Entities and Deities

London based artist Tim Zercie is fascinated by Qabalah, The Golden Dawn, Freemasonry, Tarot, Rosicrucianism as well as Thelema Magick in these fabulous fabric beings. Zercie has interpreted the mystical texts by creating physical entities and conjuring deities, angels and/or demons from a personal realm. With the construction and manipulation of fabrics from various parts of the world, the beings embody seductive high spirited colors that magnetize attention, but veil the amputation and beheading which transforms a grotesque act into a divine one. Zercie sees this playful sacrifice as leaving these beings powerless against us, they rest as relics of the sewing rituals that were performed. Via Lustik.

Totally incredible Tapestries

These handwoven tapestries from artist Justine Ashbee's Native Line are incredible, and the more I stare the more I want to shout WAUW! THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. Native Line is a mesmerising collection of geometric lines, shimmering metals, and new animistic forms in woven precious metals, golds, and silvers. All pieces are handwoven on a loom, using a four shaft weaving process. Inspired by the timeless motifs of indigenous woven craft work, Justine Ashbee combines geometric lines with shimmering metals to create luminary pieces of woven art. More here and shop here.
