Scarves & Surfaces

Wearable art scarf gallery

A scarf turns a surface into a moving field. Its edge, transparency and fold can reveal more than the centre repeat alone.

Follow the edge

Look at what happens when the cloth is folded, rolled or allowed to hang. A crisp boundary can be a resist clue, a finish or simply a change in light.

  • Read the selvedge
  • Compare open and folded views
  • Do not call a look a process

A gallery is a comparison tool

The strongest group is not the one with the most objects. It is the one that makes a single difference visible: scale, repeat, translucency or colour sequence.

  • Compare one variable
  • Keep captions descriptive
