"N°1 Window is a tapestry confectioned with the idea of defining a living space with the obsession of an 'ensemblier'.
It is somewhat of an out of date practice in which an artist or craftsman arranges a room in a home using principals of harmony between the furniture and the decoration. We wanted to incorporate that role by creating a catalog of morphic ornaments mixing digital material with painting.
Window N.1, a 14 threaded tapestry weaved in Aubusson, is composed from this catalogue constituted of a range of 3D scans of flowers2 and painted shapes3. A result among other, this tapestry is one of the many possibilities of assemblages that this library of shapes and matters allows.
Ideally this tapestry would live amongst other ornamented objects and through shape and pattern would perfectly assemble in a utopic arrangement of space."
