WRAPPINGS
For
years, my wish had been to achieve sculptures, but this supple material
requires a framework I had a difficult time finding. Every time I received a
packet from India, however, its enigmatic contents, its natural dusty fabric,
its coarse stitches, all that fascinated me and deeply moved me.
Indeed,
here they were the sculptures I wanted to create, where Indian packets and the ball
from my Basque Country meet. Sent and received like a message, like a parcel,
like a ball, always with the textile as a protecting cover and not just fine
decoration.
So,
me too, I turbaned, wrapped up my first packets with white fabrics salvaged from
the parcels and then black fabrics. The surfaces were marked by prints, the
seams became scars, sutures, folds, pleats, twists, the fibre was enriched by
various waxes and sheens.
And
these timeless blocks started looking like industrial remains or forgotten
caskets where time has left its mark….
