Negative Space by Frederico Urdaneta as commissioned by Crafts Council
Block Party and their support of contemporary art as inspired by the art of the tailor is awe inspiring.
The above film takes you into the very heartbeat of the bespoke tailoring pattern. With thoughts from Hormazd Narielwalla, artist-in-residence at the prestigious Saville Row civil, military and sporting tailor Dege & Skinner, and pattern cutter Nina Penlington.
From the perspective of the pattern cutter, to the vision of the artist who employs the building blocks of the former, it is clear that the pattern is simply a tool. One which is metamorphic in form, dependent on perspective.
Commissioned by the Crafts Council, Negative Space by film-maker Frederico Urdaneta accompanies Block Party.
Aptly named Floating in the Lay, Narielwalla’s piece for the Block Party exhibition does what he does best; challenge preconceived notions about form by transplanting bespoke tailoring patterns into new context.
