Gabriel Dawe’s series of “Plexus” thread art has caught my attention and very much captured my philosophy on design. By using coloured threads in its most simplistic form and reinventing the use to create a beautiful layered installation pieces that are dynamic and detailed on close inspection, but yet simple and strikingly beautiful from a far.
Excrept from Gabriel’s Biography
“In search for creative freedom he started experimenting and creating artwork, which eventually led him to explore textiles and embroidery – activities traditionally associated with women and which were forbidden for a body growing up in Mexico. Because of this, his work is subversive of notions of masculinity and machismo that are so ingrained in his culture. By working with thread and textiles, Dawe’s work has evolved into creating large-scale installations, creating environments that deal with notions of social constructions and their relation to evolutionary theory and the self-organizing force of nature.”
