Grethe Sørensen
Out of Focus 1-9, Contemporary Hand-Woven Abstract Textiles, Wall Sculpture

2007

About the Item

Out of Focus 1-9, handwoven cotton, 87" x 85.5" x 1.5", 2007. This colorful wall piece, consisting of nine hand-woven abstract tapestries, was done by Danish fiber artist, Grethe Sørensen (b. 1947, Viborg, Denmark). The motif of this work comes from a blow up of hard-edged pixels in basic colors till they become “liquid” and start to blend. Pixels in basic colors are the starting point for the weave-constructions as well. Artist Statement: "Textile is the continuing theme in my life. I am fascinated by fibers and weaving techniques. Exploration of the two systems of threads - warp and weft crossing on another - is a continuous challenge. I am fascinated by constructing matter by means of thread – three-dimensional shapes or two-dimensional planes with shapes and colors - in which the material, the structure and the weaving techniques are necessary and indispensable parts of the matter. I dye most of my materials. I am fascinated by gradating colors, which I dye on the warp before the weaving, varying the colors by mixing threads of different nuances in the warp. In my tapestries I often combine these gradations with transformation or dissolving of patterns."
