The Woven Series by Timothy John


An interest in creating texture through weaving is also a key component in the series. Industrial synthetic felt, intended for lining nautical vessels is cut and sewn into strips then woven around the steel framework to form a unique covering.Creating the Genius first inspired the making of a second piece in which the steel wire frame is semi-exposed. The Mastermind is essentially the Genius, partially deconstructed, showcasing just how beautiful the body under all its layers can be. The Deviant clock exhibits these very same materials and techniques, applied to a large Grandfather clock form, putting a twist on tradition.The series provokes thought and emotion. Viewers cannot help but reach out to touch and interact with each piece.
