texture

I was snapping pictures all day, and these last two pictures I am responding to the most. I wish I had taken more in this room. Something about the combination of these materials are very striking to me. There change in texture between the hard dark wood and the soft pastel fabric and the porous powdery ceiling tiles has really engaged me tacitly. It almost feels kind of bodily to me. These materials also seem very luxurious, dark, dark, carved wood, textile with full bushy tassles, and the ornately designed and potentially hand carved ceiling tiles. At the time this building was constructed, a lot of these materials would still have been hand produced. I wonder if there is a specific history of where the materials in this room came from? Now that I am looking at these pictures again, I also really like that bright circular light in there as well.


I am thinking of Pia Aleborg's "Brooches for Shirts" series where she responded to something about a set of shirts, and made jewelry for the shirts.






Some Questions:


-Can I mount the jewelry on the texture/material I am responding to?
-Would I have to make a mount that presents the work near it's corresponding material? What could that be made of? Maybe I could forge a steel mount. That seems appropriate. What exactly are the mounting options? Only resting on the floor?
-Would the mount then become part of the piece? I feel like it might have to be patterned or colored like the materials it sits in front of.
-Is this one piece or three pieces? Maybe just one.
