Nightside (scarf)

Description

Sarah Sze’s 2014 exhibition at The Fabric Workshop and Museum explored the construction and measurement of space, mass, time, and volume through the use of materials. Three museum floors—the first, second, and eighth floor galleries—contained different experiments, each one turning the viewer’s sense of scale, gravity, and information on its head. Common objects like rocks, newspapers, and furniture mutated from something known, to something foreign, fragile, newly composed, and entirely transformed. Here, a night sky-scape is masterfully rendered onto a delicate garment.

Sarah Sze, in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia.

An image of the print which appears on the silk scarf—a closeup of water rippling in greys and blues, with bright highlights where the light caught the water when it was photographed.

Artist Edition

A person with short hair, glasses, and earrings wears the scarf wrapped around their shoulders over a mustard sweater. In the background of the image, you can see out of focus trees with fall foliage in greens, reds, and yellows.
