Nuances

In the exhibition entitled, Nuances, weaver and designer, Joanna Louca, presents, a collection of hand-woven throws, displayed through a site specific installation at Phytorio, designed especially for this event.

The collection, specifically designed and made for interiors, consists of unique, one-off, hand-woven pieces, for the bed, the sofa and the home in general.

The journey of creation is a sensationally emotional one, a journey in which a harmonious combination is at play, balancing perfectly, between an incessant challenge to cross the boundaries of stereotype weaving techniques and restrictions, and a process of creative meditation, in which the weaver’s hands and mind, come together to compose a fabric that is pleasing to the human senses of sight, touch, smell and more.

Unusual and controversial yarns and meticulous, intricate and innovative hand-weaving processes, come together to produce fabrics that vary in weight, colour and texture, from feather-light to felted to quilted and from monochrome to degraded to striped.

The collection is inspired simultaneously by the technical challenges faced during production and the abstract ideas, that materialize from unexpected sources, like a portrait painting, a poem, a smell, a gesture, a plant.

Displayed along the length of the space, the individual pieces, come together, in a unified installation, as an interwoven unity, of ever-changing nuances, silently narrating a story of subtle distinctions and variations, in colours and texture, that can be experienced through a voyage of physical interactions and sensual stimulations.
