Weekly Inspiration: ✨
Artist: Marian Bijlenga
MB: I am fascinated by dots, lines and contours, by their rhythmical movements but also by the empty space they confine. Instead of drawing on paper, I draw in space by using textile as a material. I work with thread, fabric and horsehair, fishscales and parchment, materials which are soft, light, flexible and open to endless development. For me transparency is a prerequisite. By leaving some space between the structure and the wall the object is freed from its background and interacts with the white wall. It becomes what I call a “Spatial Drawing”.
