Description
This work is part of a series of hand-sewn multiples.
Conceived through extensive sketching and a combination of found, offcut and new materials, this series is an attempt to combine and relate these materials. The artist’s self-taught sewing process is a result of trial and error and in some ways an extension of his work with clay, generating a sense of vibration from the satisfying immediacy of running textile through a sewing machine.
In this body of work, Caflisch looks to use and repair what he already has. Across the works there is a sense of accountability and an active slow down as the delicacy of placing and balancing the entire body of work resembles the act of making a single piece. As Caflisch continues to think about time and place, as well as thresholds and barriers, he includes a selection of artist proofs from his archive that are a part of previous editions. The artist continues wanting to maintain a variety of different types of work and also wanting the work to be approachable from a variety of angles and layers.
