DESCRIPTION

Quilted linen, pine and brass brad frame | 2019

Conceived through extensive sketching and a combination of found, offcut and new materials, this series is an attempt to combine and relate these materials. The artist’s self-taught sewing process is a result of trial and error and in some ways an extension of his work with clay, generating a sense of vibration from the satisfying immediacy of running textile through a sewing machine.

DIMENSIONS

45 x 37 inches

AUTHENTICATION

The work comes with a Certification of Authenticity signed by the Co-Founder of Tappan.

“For me, these pieces evoke a memory of language - the cadence of speech, a patterns of morse code, notes of music. The series title, i didn’t know you were back in town purposefully has the movement of humanistic architecture, chance meetings, losing track of time, not know what to say, the relationship of exterior movement and internal routine.”

Caflisch's work explores the beauty of raw materials and is personified by bold color and organic forms.

Caflisch's Studio Visit

“...still constantly remind myself of H.D. Thoreau’s quote “rather than love, than money, than fame; give me truth.” I think this is a crucial mentality to have as an artist, and any other profession; that success, by any definition, will be found in making honest work.”

Ethan Caflisch morse code

Caflisch's Morse Code series explores unconsciously creating a rhythmic pattern that reads like music or conversation through sequences of dots and dashes. The titles are written on the back and painted in Morse Code on the front.
