Description

Etch, in a subtle near-monochrome palette, pewter, black ecru and antique gold, is an iconic piece of apparel – a wearable work of art. This scarf, a cohesive piece of jacquard fabric, is woven in silk with a heat shrink yarn; its double cloth structure creates a unique three-dimensional quality and embossed pattern.

A Margo Selby silk scarf has a spontaneous and variable shape and when worn becomes a three-dimensional sculptural object full of life, rather than a flat design.

Size: Approx 170cm x 17cm
Composition: 60% Silk, 40% Acrylic
Care: Dry Clean Only

Margo Selby Artist’s Statement:

“I use thread to create abstract geometric artworks that explore repetition and transition, symmetry and asymmetry, the dynamic and the stable. I draw influence from the visual world around me: architectural forms; graphic design; pattern, scale and colour combinations. Colour is the driving force behind my work. I enjoy the infinite effects of many subtle hues and tones that can be explored when blending from one colour to another.

I’m interested in the relationship between myself and the machine, hand and industry, craft and technology. The loom, and the disciplined nature of weaving as a practice, provides boundaries and constraints which can be tested. The orderly nature of the craft of weaving is reflected in the developing designs of the artworks. I am satisfied by rhythmic and uniform repetition – where each element of a composition is changed in a methodical progression.”
