‘I deliberately avoided getting weaving training so as not to know,’ Igshaan Adams explains, choosing instead to work through intuition, experimentation and repetition.
In this clip the artist reflects specifically on experimentation within Weerhoud, a title that loosely translates to ‘withheld’. Looking back through what he calls an ‘archive of failures’, he traces the evolution of his weaving practice and the discoveries that emerged through years of material exploration.
In ‘Igshaan Adams: Between Then and Now’, monumental tapestries, suspended ‘cloud’ sculptures and dance-based prints unfold as layered environments where movement becomes material and making becomes a way of sensing the world differently.
