ASCENSION. We’re elated to share a first look at “Ascension, our brand-new screen débuting next month at @thesalonny with our friends @charlesburnand. Ascension is a gateway that transmits light multidimensionally. A composition of unique handwoven art textiles of silver-plated jewelry wire and muga silk, the weavings are suspended in patinated, solid bronze frames with custom 3-D printed, cast bronze hinges. Translucent and structurally reversible, the screen is our studio’s first expression that takes our woven work from the wall and into three-dimensional space and beyond—an awakening that encourages contemplation and circumambulation. “Ascension” is a limitless creative expression, an expansion of thinking and process, and a harmonious balance of materiality, form, and light. (75”w / 78”h / 2”d | 190cm / 198cm / 5cm) #dougallpaulson #weaving #textile #textiledesign #handmade #handwoven #silk #wool #metal #jewelry #jewelrywire #interiordesign #interiordecoration #architecture #craft #mesh #fiber #fiberartist #fiberart #wallhanging #wallart #wovenart #weaversofinstagram #textileoftheday #furniture #furnituredesign #collectibledesign #sculpture #art Image by @monicanouwens ✨✨

TEEMING SEA, TRANQUIL LAND. We're still reeling from Sankai Juku's performance of Meguri last weekend at UCLA's Royce Hall. It's mesmerizing to encounter an expression that's as lush as it is spare. Butoh’s source is the Japanese avant-garde of the 1960s, a period when Japan struggled with the lingering effects of the atomic bomb detonations at Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended World War II. Originally called ankoku butoh, or dance of darkness, the medium created a space for the intensely grotesque and perverse on the stage. Amagatsu's work exhibits the conventional tensions of butoh and envelops them in a mood of emotional stillness. “Sankai Juku” means sea and mountain lodgings. #tbt #dougallpaulson #sankaijuku #dance #butoh #japan #losangeles #art #performance #ucla
