This artwork was made by Walter Leblanc, though we don't know exactly when. It's comprised of individual strands, mounted on a dark, reflective ground. What's striking here is the interplay between precision and a kind of subtle disruption. The rows are rigorously ordered, and the materials themselves – likely nylon or a similar monofilament – are industrially produced. Yet each strand is slightly bowed, creating a moiré effect that activates the entire surface. Leblanc’s background in graphic design is evident in the work's clean lines and systematic arrangement. But he goes further than design, into the realm of the handmade, and of chance. The slight variations in the strands, seemingly random, create a dynamic, almost organic quality, especially with the shifting play of light across the surface. Ultimately, this piece challenges our expectations. It's neither purely industrial nor traditionally crafted, but something in between. It invites us to reconsider the boundaries between these categories, and to appreciate the beauty that can emerge from their convergence.
