Inescapable Body
European Hemp, Ink, Paste
The Ancient Repetitions series is inspired by artist Chanee Vijay’s regard for and fascination with the texture, shape and function of the millennium-old redwood stumps throughout her property in The Sea Ranch, California. Topped with huckleberries, covered in moss and blackened with protective tannins, these stumps—all in various cycles of decay—still thrive and provide for the forest long after their classic tree form exists.

About the Artist
Chanee Vijay
Chanee Vijay's abstract textile collages draw on her regard for local landforms, faults, cycles of growth and decay with materials, and techniques she gleaned across a decade of textile surface design and pillow production. Starting with her European hemp offcuts, Chanee plays with tonality, often over-dyeing and painting each piece to bring mood and enhanced character to the fabric. Her attentiveness to the interactions among forms reinforces the arrangement’s imperfect lines. The final composition is realized by pasting, then sculpting the hemp together to create movement and texture with raw exposed seams.
