Serge Ecker is an artist specialized in photography and 3D Printing but always looking to expand his art into different media such as textiles. He is part of a Grid design in Luxemburg and travels the worls extensively to find his magnificient motifs.
In december he contacted ETIB and wanted to have a special series of motifs knitted with a hacked knitting machine. I was immedeately taken by his photography and 3D printing so I offered him a special technique of manual yarn colourway to not only capture the motif but also the beautiful colour range.
The first motifs were from his photography adventure on the abandoned mining island of Hashima which google also made a streetview tour of here.
I find there is a lot of beauty in decay and abandonment and I hope I have captured this in the wall hangings I made for Serge.
Serge is taking part in an exhibit at “Bamhaus Expo – D’Welt vum Bam” as part of the “Night of Culture” in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxemburg from 2nd till 27th of May and will be exhibiting the first 3 wall hangings here. Title of his series is “Inertia of the Real”
The second 3 wall hangings will be exhibited in Paris as part of a design week.
Here are some pics from Bamhaus and my own photos with details.
Here is part of the development from motif to wall hanging:
