IKAT III, 2011

Optic fibre, paper yarn
2500 x 2500 mm

'Ikat III' is a light tapestry
of paper yarn with organic
patterns created in optical fibres.
The tapestry alludes the ikat
weaving technique, which among
other things is characterized by
detailed colouring and immense
precision in weaving, making
it possible to create smooth
transitions between patterns.
With 'Ikat III' Astrid Krogh
interprets the ikat tradition
by allowing light to create its
own patterns and shapes in indefinable transitions. The light
is used as a imaginary dye,
which continuously flows back
and forth and thus create an
almost magical effect pattern.
'Ikat III' is the biggest weaving
in the trilogy Ikat I II and III.
The three light tapestries can
function as a single work.
