As mentioned in the previous post, my most recent visit to the AGO left me a bit unsettled. A good hour after visiting the Moore and Bacon show, I was finally able to somewhat regain my composure. The need to bring back order into the chaos of my mind (Bacon can do that to anybody) was overwhelming.
Remembering Sennett's words "making is thinking", a bag of linen scraps from past projects was emptied and sorted, selecting the most adequate ones to iron and piece. This mechanical motion gradually brought a soothing sense of purpose, until it resulted into beautiful reconstructed linen swatches with a marvelous haptic and a very particular weight and drape.
