Richard Woods’ ‘Duck Weave’ is a new development in the internationally renowned artist’s use of materials, patterns, logos and motifs. Eastside Projects presents the first research stages of Woods’ ‘Duck Weave’ construction technique as the inaugural display of ‘Production Show 2016-18’.

About

‘Duck Weave’ is also the first show of painting on canvas by Woods who is widely known for his large-scale transformative graphic artworks on architecture and his inventive and playful sculpture, and woodblock printed furniture.  Painted weaving patterns are applied to the gallery walls and prototype painted panels prepared for a staging of basic dwellings, clothing and shelters.

Duck Weave epitomises vernacular construction. Its continuous use for at least 6000 years owes much to cheapness and abundance of raw materials. It starts with primitive building and spans the entire history of England until the craft’s demise during the 18th century. The craft was used across the world but the scope here is confined to English traditions.

 

PRODUCTION SHOW 2016 – 2018 is an evolving process – a programme of relationships, commissions, exhibitions and events spanning two years which explodes Eastside Projects as an active space of research, development, prototyping, manufacturing and display.
