2019年6月から7月にかけてアーティスト・イン・レジデンスを行った際、オーストラリアのタペストリー工房にあるタペストリーが送られ、プロの手によってクリーニングされた。完成後初めてのクリーニングであった。
私はクリーニングの過程に興味を持ち、その結果に魅了された。
タペストリーは6×6のグリッドに分割され、それぞれの部分に新しいフィルターで掃除機をかける。フィルターはグリッドに対応して記録され、興味深いパターンを形成していた。もし「汚れ」が何らかの方法でコミュニケーションをとることができれば、まるで「壁の上のハエ」のように、物語や秘密を語ることができるだろう。
洗浄工程で出た繊維の入ったフィルターで展示用にアレンジした。A tapestry was sent in to the Australian tapestry workshop to be professionally cleaned when I was artist in residence in June/July 2019. The tapestry was being cleaned for the first time since its completion.
I was interested in the process of cleaning and fascinated by the outcome of the process.
The tapestry was divided into a 6 x 6 grid and each portion was vacuumed with a new filter. The filters were documented corresponding to the grid and formed an interesting pattern.The work intended for exhibition
Two woven pieces that are interpretations of the ‘dirt’ pattern, the stories and secrets the ‘dirt’ could tell if they could communicate in some ways, as if they were ‘fly on the wall’.
Attached image shows first interpretation of the dirt pattern, I intend to weave another piece for the Vitrine display.
Other attached images also show the filters with fibres from the cleaning process and i would like to arrange some of them for display as well.-
アマンダ・ホーはメルボルンに生まれ、幼少期を香港で過ごしました。彼女は、建築家として働く傍ら、織物を学び、自身の内面の二面性を作品制作に活かしています。
2015年、彼女は建築から織物へと再フォーカスし、「the weavers' workroom」をスタートさせました。デザイン、素材、パターン、構造への興味は、彼女の作品に影響を与え続けています。
和田佳子の「スローファイバー:素材とその特性の理解」の講義に触発され、アマンダの作品は素材の個々の挙動と相互作用を探求し、計算された仕事でそれらを作品としているのです。
また、アマンダはビクトリア州のHand Weavers and Spinners Guildや自身のスタジオで織物の指導も行っています。Amanda Ho was born in Melbourne but spent part of her childhood in Hong Kong. She draws on the duality of her heritage to influence her practice.
She learnt to weave while working as an architect.
In 2015, she began to refocus from architecture to weaving, starting ‘the weavers’ workroom’. Her interest in design, materials, patterns and structures continues to influence in her work.
Inspired by Yoshiko Wada’s lecture on Slow Fibre: the understanding of materials and their characteristics, Amanda’s work explores the individual behaviour of materials and their interactions with each other, thus manipulating them with calculated expectations.
Amanda also teaches weaving at the Hand Weavers and Spinners Guild of Victoria and from her studio.
