Werkstuk van naaldkant dat nog losgemaakt moet worden van de tijdelijke onderlagen van papier en textiel c. 1925 - 1935

This needle lace artwork of unknown origin, presents a fragment of intricate craftsmanship, still attached to its temporary paper and textile supports. It's the kind of thing you could stare at for hours. Imagine the maker, patiently building up these delicate patterns, stitch by stitch. It’s a slow, thoughtful process, demanding focus and care. The texture of the lace is incredible - a raised, almost sculptural quality to the material, which is so at odds with the flatness of the paper it sits on. Look at the way the light filters through the tiny holes, creating a sense of depth and space. The blue paper gives a definite graphic punch, but you sense the lace will stand on its own when released. It reminds me a bit of some of the drawings of Eva Hesse, both have a real dedication to process, each mark, each stitch building to something that is somehow both delicate and strong. Art really is about the conversation between the artist, the materials, and the world, isn't it?
