Haleh Redjaian’s artistic approach becomes particularly tangible in her textile works.
The artist has the handwoven carpets produced in Kerman, Iran, according to specified dimensions and, in some cases, her own patterns. The process of hand production inevitably introduces variations: dimensions, forms, and patterns may differ slightly. The natural wool threads within a single carpet also vary in colour and texture, creating subtle tonal shifts and a distinct material aesthetic.
What returns to her studio is therefore never simply the realisation of a design, but an autonomous support bearing the traces of its handcrafted production, to which the artist then responds. Lithographic prints and geometric formations of sewn-on threads introduce further layers that encounter the existing textile structure and enter into dialogue with its particularities. Once transferred onto the fabric, the lithograph allows for no subsequent correction. Different forms of precision and deviation thus become inscribed in the work itself. (Eliza Grabarek)
