“weaving light: eugene kangawa and A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE turn photograms into fabric”

Excerpt from the article

“Light and shadow inside me is a body of work made entirely through light. Earlier iterations comprised sheets of paper brushed with dye, folded into geometric shapes, and left to fade under sunlight for weeks, while later versions evolved into monochrome photograms made by exposing folded photographic paper to artificial light.”

“‘The idea that all things, by the very fact of their existence, simultaneously possess both light and shadow — countless fronts and backs — is central to who I am and my practice,’ Kangawa explains to designboom. ‘My goal was to create a work of art that embodies and enacts this coexistence.’”

“The result is a technically groundbreaking ‘bit-level’ textile, in which tonal gradients from black to white emerge solely from variations in weave density without any dyes or colored threads. The team drew analogies between the intersection of threads and the microscopic silver particles that make up photographic paper, transforming light’s material absence into the tactility of fabric.”
