Macrogauze 36 - Red 3D

<p>Peter Collingwood made this striking composition using gauze weave, a sophisticated technique in which warps cross each other and clasp the wefts to produce an open fabric that maintains its integrity. He pushed the limits of gauze weaving in his <em>Macrogauze</em> series, creating exaggerated, sculptural diagrams with slender linen threads that hold metal rods in place.</p> <p>Collingwood’s practice is rooted in the history of textiles and his love of experimentation with all<br>manner of machines. Admired by fellow weavers and art historians alike, he is the author of five influential publications on textile history and technique.</p>
