多伦多的纺织艺术家阿曼达·麦克卡沃(Amanda McCavour)用线和缝纫机建造了二维和三维空间的雕塑装置。在一种特殊的织物上,用一种特殊的针法将线溶解在水中,形成线的表面。通过对沙发、餐桌、背包等物品的效果图,以及从事工作的手臂和双手,她探索了家和身体纤维的联系。
Toronto-based textile artist Amanda McCavour uses thread and a sewing machine to construct sculptural installations that dance between two and three dimensions. McCavour stitches on a special fabric that dissolves in water to create the surfaces of thread. Through renderings of objects like sofas, kitchen tables, and backpacks, as well as arms and hands engaged in work, she explores connections to home and the fibers of the body. In an artist statement McCavor states she is interested “in thread’s assumed vulnerability, its ability to unravel, and its strength when it is sewn together.”McCavour holds an MFA from the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, and she exhibits widely. Currently, her Floating Garden installation is on display at the Cornell Art Museum in Florida as part of their Flora exhibition, which opens today, March 30th, and is on view through September 9, 2018. Flora also includes Tiffanie Turner (previously), and Miya Ando (previously). You can see more of McCavour’s work on her Facebook page and via Instagram.
