Slant (SMED) hypha-gallery-farringdon This handwoven and naturally dyed

This handwoven and naturally dyed piece reflects those moments through colors that blend into each other with calm

highlighting the large-scale patterns and flows that shape the natural environment

My work is an invitation: to hold

The basketball net is a metaphor for the nature of hustling and moving towards reaching a goal

the bubbles appear to pause mid-fragmentation

Slant (SMED) hypha-gallery-farringdon This handwoven and naturally dyedNicky Hirsts working method is usually to observe and unravel. It is an exploration of serendipity within the everyday. Starting points may be objects, places or words which she then shifts, manipulates or juxtaposes. By noticing what is already there a visual poetry is revealed in the ordinary. In Slant (SMED), Nicky employs the tree like shape of the Ikea BONDSKARET coat stand, originally created by Rutger Andersson in 1978 and was then named SMED.
