Subject:

Textile, Commission

For this commission Mary Redmond suggested making a new work in direct response to the Paisley Museum and Art Galleries collection. The Museum allowed her full access and it was the beautiful and rarely-seen textile pattern books which inspired this work. Redmond’s repeated use of a single familiar element; the levered spoke of an umbrella, creates a fragile wave-like sculptural shape that refers to the Paisley motif which was originally drawn from a feather.
