Amalia Laurent – Analysis of a folded waveform

Following her artist residency at La Condition Publique, Amalia Laurent has created a suspended textile installation based on the notion of pattern and repetition.

Based on the perforated cards used for jacquart looms in the Roubaix textile industry in the 19th century, she explores this binary technique as the basis for the coloured pattern she applies by traditional hand-dyeing to a tarlatan fabric. Playing with transparency and opacity, she reveals space in a different way.
