Lanzone Dale Interview (1 results)

Softbound. Condition: VG+. Black illustrated wraps, unpaginated [32], 4 fold-out pages, about 26 large color illustrations. September 23 - October 23, 2010. From the publisher: nebulas, celestial bodies and planets. These works are executed in mixed media with such materials as enamel, asphaltum, acrylic, ink, glue, epoxy resin, paper, alumichrom, and oil stick. By using contemporary Jacquard looms, Despont translated these richly detailed, highly expressive paintings into woven tapestries that seem to glow with light. Despont comments on this new body of work: ". I like to think of my orbs as floating in space, and tapestry, with its three-dimensional aspects, is a fantastic medium for them. I am fascinated by our universe filled with billions of galaxies, of stars and planets, by the idea of being drawn into space and floating away. The tapestries display this poetic notion of floating with these orbs, as the light bounces off softly. People are drawn to them. In the studio, every visitor wants to touch them. It is an emotional force; they exert their own kind of gravity.".
