English, circa. 1963-64
Throughout Peter Collingwood's career he adopted a fearless obsession with breaking looms and then rebuilding them to create systems of moveable rigid heddles. During the mid-sixties this practice allowed him to develop the graphically dramatic Macrogauze technique made by crossing over warp threads at different angles rather than following parallel vertical lines. This eventually led Collingwood into three-dimensional, installation art with an airy, weightless and spirited quality, demonstrating the inventive potential of textile art.
