Award-winning artist, author, and
teacher Elin Noble was inspired to create Vox Stellarum by the 18th century
prints of German theologian Jakob Scheucher, who believed science and sacred
scriptures were not mutually exclusive. For the series, Noble utilizes the
itajime clamp-resist process of folding and clamping the silk organza, then
selectively removing the sericin (silk gum). The result: an exquisite interplay
between transparency and opaqueness, and a subtle shifting of moiré patterns
when pieces are hung together and the cloth gently moves.
“I seek to fill the room with
the transformative qualities of cloth in space.” – Elin Noble
