Rupert Norfolk
Untitled, 2007

Richly associative poetic art and nature ‘pattern’ develops the floor sculpture Untitled: a black-and-white Aubusson tapestry made using traditional techniques. Upon close inspection, the geometric pattern of the tapestry reveals a doubling: some of the folds are real, but others are illusionistic trompe l’oeil effects—images of folds that have been worked into the textile as shifts in its pattern, suggesting a drape even before the rug is laid out. Untitled is both a crumpled drapery and a woven image of a crumpled drapery, the effect ingeniously oscillating between real and fictional folds.
