About the Item

Holding Light, Large #2, 2022
pieced vintage silk
48.4 x 72 in.
(smi129)
This original artwork by Debra Smith consists of black and cream-colored pieces of cut vintage silk, sewn together to form abstract, geometric shapes.
Smith’s work is the result of both an intuitive process, formed from years of working with historic textiles, and a mindful practice. Each work is an open expression, constructed in an extraordinary way - with hours of stitching, embedding layer upon layer of material. With the visual sensibilities of a painter, Smith manipulates stripes and forms shapes with a gestural, geometric abstraction. She intuitively pieces found silk fabrics from vintage kimonos and men’s suit linings into a specific and well-developed visual language that relates more fully to drawing and painting than to the nature of textiles.

- Ma #05 #01Located in Antwerpen, VANMA (間 ) Is a Japanese term that can be translated as "interval", "space", "pause" or "empty space between two structural elements." It is an aesthetic, philosophical and artistic concept, also frequently used in everyday life. It is also linked to the Mahāyāna Buddhist philosophy, in which the doctrine of emptiness is central MA, intended as "void full of meaning", used in art «An imaginary room that is in an indefinite position between the sky and the earth, is said to be the original way to represent the concept of but. We imagine both spatial and temporal uncertainty simultaneously: the room is neither in one place nor in the other, it is in an indescribable space " Delineating space spontaneously marks non-outlined voids, which is where freedom of interpretation and reflection can fill it up. This empty space is profoundly beautiful, full of mystery and promise. In significant ways the empty space contributes a unique quality of structure, balance and definition in a composition. In this series, extra attention is paid to the structures and textures of original and natural materials, and organic shapes. For the beholder, the empty space is calming as well as energizing.
