About Seaside Farshaxan Darbi ah

Seaside waa farshaxan dhar ah oo goobaboobiya loo sameeyay in darbiga lagu soo bandhigo. Shaqadan waxaa gacanta lagu sameeyay isticmaalka xadhig cudbi ah oo dabiici ah oo qaro weyn leh, oo khadad ahaan loo xiray si loogu daro dhaqdhaqaaq iyo qoto dheer iyo si loo muujiyo hirarka biyaha oo isku dhufanaya. Xadhigga waxaa gacanta lagu rinjiyeeyay isku darka rinji kala duwan iyo waxyaabo dabiici ah oo midab leh, taasoo soo saartay midabyo dhulka u eg oo deggan leh isbeddel khafiif ah. Fiilooyinka cudbiga ee cidhifka hoose waxaa loo gooyay si loo dhammeeyo qaabka goobaboobka ah ee siman. Qaabka goobaboobka ah wuxuu ka duwan yahay farshaxanka iyo alaabta guriga ee khadadka toosan leh ee joomatari ah. Suxuunta lagu rakibo ayaa shaqada ka dhigaysa mid darbiga wax yar ka fog. Waxaa la bixiyaa toddoba cabbir oo dhexroor ah, laga bilaabo 50 illaa 127 sentimitir.

Unique Properties
This circular, handmade textile artwork is called Seaside - the divide between land and water. The thick cotton cord is knotted in lines to add movement and depth, forming the sea's undulating waves. Hand-dyed using a unique and specialized process, the artist Rianne Aarts adds color utilizing a blend of dyes and natural pigments. This results in a calm and soothing earthy color palette with a subtle gradient.

The cotton fibers at the bottom are carefully cut, to create that smooth circular form. It's that soft round form that will make for a great contrast to typical, strong-lined geometric art or furniture, and ensures balance and harmony throughout the room.

Production Technology
Handmade using natural cotton and organic (non-toxic) dyes/pigments. Hung using mounting brackets, for a wonderful 'floating'-look.
Design Challenge
One of the creative challenges I embraced in crafting Seaside, was my determination to depart from the conventional. Instead of the typical straight-lined or square art pieces, I set out to create a round, circular artwork.

This unconventional approach came with its own set of challenges, from selecting the right materials to ensuring structural integrity. However, it was a challenge worth undertaking, as it allowed me to push the boundaries of fiber art and create a piece that truly resonates with the everlasting allure of the seaside.
Inspiration
Inspired by nature, Seaside emerged from my fascination with the enduring dialogue between land and sea. This circular fiber artwork encapsulates the timeless harmony and tension between these natural forces. Through it, I hope to evoke contemplation about the dynamic beauty of our coastlines, encouraging a deeper connection with the natural world.
