Ingeschoren trijp, dessin "Zeenymphen", in bruinrood after 1918

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made this textile, “Ingeschoren trijp, dessin "Zeenymphen", in bruinrood,” without specifying the date, a kind of dance of reddish-brown. Imagine Lion Cachet standing before his materials, scissors, thread, and cloth, probably with pins sticking out of his mouth, conjuring sea nymphs out of thin air! What do you think he was thinking when he embarked on this textile adventure? The material itself has this amazing texture, a kind of deep reddish-brown that invites you to touch, and the way the light catches on the surface! The design, those Zeenymphen, creates this sense of rhythmic movement, like the ebb and flow of the sea. I mean, it's so Lion Cachet, right? Reminds me a bit of other textile artists, like Anni Albers, pushing boundaries and challenging conventions. But, you know, artists are constantly riffing off each other, building on the past, and dreaming up new possibilities. Each artwork is like a question mark hanging in the air, a challenge to see things from a different angle, to embrace uncertainty, and to stay curious.
