second construction
textile collection
jacquard / floor loom
single sounds of two music pieces composed by John Cage are the inspiration of the collection’s color chart.
instruments like percussion, temple bells, wine glasses and a prepared piano can be heard in ‘Second Construction’ (1940).
in ‘Forever and Sunsmell’ (1942)
a percussion duo and a vocal part perform a poem by E.E. Cummings. the intuitively sensed character of different instruments is reflected in color, material and structure of the designed textiles.
every sound becomes visibile within each fabric - joining together
in a collection to form the
composition.
during the collaboration with Ostkreuzschule Berlin,
Patricia Morosan extended the textile collection by responding to
its color, structure and appearance and developed it into the photo spreads 'vision for a second composition' and 'refrain for Sebastian' without the influence
of Cage's music pieces.
