Margo Selby: Vexillum IV

Woven as part of Margo Selby's 2020 Vexillum series, and exhibited with Design-Nation for COLLECT 2021, the online edition of the Crafts Council annual fair, Vexillum IV is a monumental work, beyond the scale of the dobby loom on which it was made. This technical feat has been achieved by constructing the work in sections, to an exact plan, matching each of 18,000 strands to achieve a powerful cohesive whole.
Geometric pattern is made macro in its fractal composition; its energy expands infinitely. The forms of the design optically project and recede, creating a sensation of movement, and almost becoming images – a chromatic hall of mirrors. In the presence of Vexillum IV a synaesthetic effect is palpable – it sings. It is a celebratory work, but with an element of aggression – a ‘vexillum’ being a portent of battle, as well as a Latin sail, and the delicate fronds of a feathery plume.

Zoetrope is a unique handwoven artwork conceived as a triptych. Each panel is a discrete object, stretched and framed in white painted wood. When positioned together as is intended, the air between the panels activates – they flicker and animate. Zoetrope is a truly visual work, employing optical effect in an off-kilter symmetry with linear designs and forced perspectives.
A zoetrope is a playful nineteenth century device that gives the optical illusion of movement – a spinning cylinder that makes horses gallop. The name comprises the Greek ζωή ‘zoe’ life and τρόπος ‘tropos’ turning – a fitting metaphor. The vertical format of the panels in the work are reminiscent of the narrow slits of the zoetrope through which sequential images are glimpsed, and the graduating forms give the impression of motion and light.
The designs were developed through drawing and yarnwindings, and then executed to an exact plan. There are thousands of strands in this work – each one of those hand-threaded, counted and re-counted. Geometric pattern is made macro in the fractal compositions, expanding infinitely – the forms optically project and recede, creating a sensation of dynamism, and almost becoming images – alluding, as they do, to stairways and steps or pyramid forms.
Margo’s handwoven artworks are made on dobby looms in silk, tencel, cotton and wool, and exhibited worldwide. Margo is happy to receive commission enquiries for projects large and small – please contact the studio.

Handwoven Framed Artwork 16,5
Individually handwoven at our Whitstable studio, each unique artwork explores colour and structure. Yarns are revealed, concealed and blended, in geometric designs both subtle and bold.
Warp 16
This series of works builds on an evolving palette of fresh, clean hues punctuated with acid yellows and clear blues, greys and violets.
The subtle tonal variations within a piece are achieved through the blending of over 5000 threads in the weave structure. Each compositional block is defined also by the textural qualities of the cotton and silk threads. Strong, or barely-perceptible contrasts are made and the emotional impact of colour is explored.
The artwork is framed, behind art glass, in bespoke white wood measuring approximately 20mm wide, 32mm deep.
