A TAPESTRY WITH THE DESIRE FOR ORDER
How strong is your desire for order? Do you order your things by
colour, or at random; in stacks, or neatly alongside each other; in
a heap, or in a strict row? Else Schenkveld is fascinated with the
way people sort, arrange, and order collections. For Showall she
took inspiration from a tool wall and a traditional display cabinet.
Plates, cutlery, glasses, and cups form the ingredients for her
three-dimensional patterns on the wall. In this knitted tapestry
you can place hooks and holders at any given point, turning the
result into a perfect reflection of how well-organised or chaotic the
user is. Showall is a demonstration of the beauty in numbers.
