Perfect for the David Parr House theme of Letter, Word, Text, the design for Motion fabric by Margo Selby references the Johnston typeface, and archival material in the collection of London Transport Museum: tube maps, posters and paraphernalia. It celebrates the relationship between the fast-moving city, modern transport, graphic design and woven textiles.
Large scale pattern repeats are a signature feature of Margo Selby designs, it makes our cushions unique and dynamic.
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.”
Designed for the London Transport Museum as part of the London Design Festival.
