Within these archives, there were archival fragments defined by a silent need for a breakthrough, breaking the codes of weaving, breaking away from stereotypes which stand out through my own perspective. The act of selecting and placing them in a new environment is, at first, to bring them to light but also to revisit the process of reading a fabric within a protected space, such as the home. Their only commonality in Environments is their deconstruction and not the timeline or their material.

A new subcategory that refers to a captured moment of weaving. Archive series no. 958-961, created within the same composition and timeframe, originally served as research for a larger body of work. These series are displayed in alignment with the notation, strict methodology of the studio’s archive requirements and preservation.

The viewer is invited not just to study the numbered pieces for the first time, but to engage with an alliance between matter and thought. A fabric archive remains alive beyond its documentation as it retains the connection to the circumstances, and the intentions that gave it life. The fabric becomes a form of language.
