Textiles: A Piece of Cloth Traveled Far

A group of hand-woven textiles from different places. A woven rug hangs on the wall, with a geometric pattern and natural dye colors of ochre and indigo. It is tightly woven with handmade fringes on the edges. On the sofa is a coarse-spun wool blanket with uneven yarn thickness. A throw pillow is made of indigo-dyed cotton fabric, with blurred white patterns left by tie-dyeing. On the floor is a jute woven rug. They come from different cultures and techniques, but because their colors are all within the low-saturation range of natural dyes and their textures are all rough natural fibers, they can coexist in the same space. Each piece has a story behind how it was acquired. Avoid: using machine-printed imitation handmade patterns, making the textile colors high-saturation and clashing, using smooth synthetic fabrics, arranging textiles into symmetrical decorations.

一組來自不同地方的手織品。一條掛在牆上的織毯,圖案是幾何的,配色是天然染料的赭與靛,織法緊密、邊緣有手工的流蘇;沙發上一條粗紡的羊毛毯,紗線粗細不勻;一個抱枕是藍染的棉布,有綁紮防染留下的暈開白紋;地上一張黃麻編織的地毯。它們來自不同的文化與工法,但因為顏色都在低彩度的自然染色範圍內、質地都是粗獷的天然纖維,可以共處在同一個空間。每一件的背後都有一段取得的過程。避免:使用機器印刷的仿手工圖案、讓織品的顏色高彩度而衝突、使用光滑的化纖布料、把織品排列成對稱的裝飾。
