Waffle Gradients
2020 - Current
An ongoing series exploring three-dimensional textiles that stimulate a natural habitat within interior environments.
Using color as a communicator, each piece becomes a sensory experience as relief waffle patterns rise and fall in a gradient fiber landscape; a window that provides a vista of meditation where humanity can dive deeper into the collectively undiscovered self.
All work is made using AVL Dobby Looms
SUBMERGE
In her debut solo museum exhibition, Anya Molyviatis (b.1994, Geneva, Switzerland; SCAD B.F.A., fibers, 2021) presents a new series of her signature three-dimensional textiles exploring relationships between light and materiality. The exhibition includes Molyviatis' largest weavings to date, simultaneously exquisite in their intricate construction and powerful in their grand visual impact. In these works featuring a diamond waffle pattern developed by the artist, Molyviatis uses both the physical structure of interwoven threads and the visual cues of color juxtapositions to convey an enhanced sense of depth. To create each work, Molyviatis weaves hand-dyed cotton with mohair wool, meticulously threading thousands of fine fibers through 40 harnesses of a vintage loom - one of only 20 in existence worldwide. The resulting works harmoniously blend technology and craft, with compositions that augment our perception of weight, density, and sound through awe-inspiring designs. Enveloping the gallery in soft gradients of texture and color, Molyviatis offers visitors an extraordinary setting for contemplating and reflection.
BLOOM
The “Bloom” series is a synthesis of form and function, using weaving to deepen our connection with living spaces.
These works transform spaces into harmonious sanctuaries through intricate three-dimensional structures. Blending mohair and cotton, they craft vibrant color combinations, challenging wool's weight, imparting a sensation of weightlessness. Textured surfaces beckon touch, offering tactile comfort that awakens the senses. These structures burst with color into visual experiences, doubling as natural sound absorbers. The fibers’ acoustic properties, cradle and disperse noise, orchestrating calmness and clarity in raucous environments.
'Bloom' transcends aesthetics to reshape how we perceive materials while rekindling our awareness of sensory experiences.
Material/Memory/Myth
Evergreene Studio founder Nicole Timonier and Jeff Lincoln Art + Design are pleased to present “Material/Memory/Myth,” a group show of twelve LA and West Coast-based artists and designers who are at the forefront of a movement in which the lines between art and craft are blurred, engaging ancient materials – ceramic, wood, glass, fiber – from a modern point of view, freed from a history of craft, yet rooted in memory, transcending time and place, and creating new mythologies.
