Gigantism in Textiles
Tonight was "by donation" night at the Museum of Arts and Design so I went to see Lauren Kalman's full blown gold, diamond and pearl jewellery but ended up being fascinated by Francoise Grossen's textiles. They are gigantic and overwhelm everything else, including the jewellery. She says she frees fabrics from the two dimensional weave and instead creates these massive multi -dimensional, sculptures which seem to writhe and intimidate as soon as you look at them; they almost groan at you ... One of them resembles an organismic, pulsating Jackson Pollock.
