Artefact: Do Ho Suh

img_2081
I love the artists use of cloth to reference architecture. There is a paradox in using something so fragile to recreate something so strong.

His use of translucent polyester fabric is something I have done myself but rather than creating an exact replica of a subject, I have drawn into fabrics, loosely referencing a photograph and memory. Although in this project I aim to create something that feels tangibly intangible (like a memory) I would also be interested in creating a larger and more interactive piece with fabric in future. Something which people could physically engage with, maybe leave their trace, an exploration of collective memory.
