Jongerius Layers: Monumental Assemblages 20 May to 16 July 2006 Moss Gallery, New York The exhibition
focuses on a new, extraordinary and complicated textile, called "Layers",
which Ms. Jongerius has been developing over the past two years with the
noted American textile firm, Maharam. Incorporating many layers of various
felts and woolens, laser-cut and then top-stitched together in a remarkable
quilt-like fashion, these textiles, including a large number of one-off
prototypes presented in numerous variations, will be applied to various
furniture pieces created by Ms. Jongerius as prototype 'furniture sketches',
and will include special hand embroidery. Exploring further this idea
of layering materials, Jongerius is creating a number of unique studio
ceramic pieces, which will extend her textile concept into another medium. |
