"Charger" Wall-Mounted Coiled Rope Fiber Sculpture by Doug Johnston
About the Item
-Made in 2017
-poly cord, nylon sewing thread
This piece was made by coiling a single length of polyester cord, and sewing the coil together with an industrial sewing machine. The cord is braided with a red, white, and blue American flag motif, and sewn with black nylon sewing thread. The piece undulates in relief from the wall, though it is somewhat rigid. It was created during my time as a resident at the Bemis Center in Omaha, NE, in 2017. It is one of 3 pieces I made with the American flag-motif rope.
Since 2010 Doug Johnston has produced a wide range of functional and sculptural objects using a process of coiling and stitching rope using industrial sewing machines. He has built a formal vocabulary and studio practice that engages his varied interests in architecture, spatial and landscape formation, commerce, and fundamental human technologies. The work often sits at the intersection of art, design, and craft, taking the position that no made object is exclusively aesthetic or utilitarian. He often collaborates with his partner, Tomoe Matsuoka. They live and work in Brooklyn, NY and Osaka, Japan.

Doug Johnston
Since 2010 Doug Johnston has focused on a process of coiling and stitching rope using industrial sewing machines, producing a wide range of functional and sculptural objects. The work utilizes a long history of human technologies such as cordage, coiled vessels, bags and basketry, masonry construction, sewing machines, and 3d printing. With these, he has built a formal vocabulary and studio practice that engages his varied interests in architecture, spatial and landscape formation, commerce, and fundamental human technologies. The work often sits at the intersection of art, design, and craft, taking the position that no made object is exclusively aesthetic or utilitarian. Johnston has shown his work at venues such as Patrick Parrish Gallery (NY), R & Company (NY), Cranbrook Art Museum (MI), Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (ME), Collective Design Fair (NY), and Design/Miami (FL). He has participated in residencies at UrbanGlass, The Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. He received a Master of Architecture degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Drury University. Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Johnston lives and works in Brooklyn, NY and Osaka, Japan, often collaborating with his wife, artist and designer Tomoe Matsuoka.
