Textile Art - Savouring Silence x Lulama Wolf

In a new pair of textile pieces, Lulama Wolf’s depictions of complex human relationships are recreated in a very different way to her canvas-based creations, reimagined in mohair.

Wolf and Botes have collaborated on mohair pieces in the past in the form of rugs and wall hangings, but here they push the medium further, once again playing with texture, softness and depth. Wolf has become well known for her deep pigment techniques referencing vernacular architecture, and presenting proof of life.

In these new textile pieces, she departs from her iconic contorted figures to focus on still life. She creates an intimate space and scenario - dinner for two, with two still lives of wine glasses, a decanter and a jug that are reinvigorated through the texture and tactility of mohair fabric. Here, the edge of each artwork is easily undefined, the still-life objects escaping from the rectangle parameters of the work, imbuing these everyday items with a sense of corporeality.
