Art into Industry | Assembly
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.
Taylor Chenille Fabric
Inspired by the forms of cut glass, Taylor comprises clear, geometric motifs, of varying scales, in a golden sunburst of yellow. This jacquard fabric is woven in chenille, a soft furry yarn named after the French for caterpillar; it is a robust stitched double-cloth with an embossed velveteen texture.
Margo Selby x Osborne & Little
Margo Selby has designed three collections for the British interiors company Osborne & Little. Each collection brings together diverse textures and striking colour in woven fabrics for upholstery and soft-furnishing. Inspirations are as diverse as Fairisle knit, cut glass and Bauhaus typography, and music.
Etch Cushion
Etch, in a subtle near-monochrome palette, pewter, black, ecru and antique gold, is a striking grid of dots. The textural quality of this jacquard fabric is achieved through a double-weave process; interwoven mixed fibres, including a heat-shrink yarn, create a tension in the cloth for an embossed surface – a Margo Selby signature structure.
