Description
Smoke has been a recurring motif in Pae White’s work, and she has been exploring ways to capture its genuine qualities in various media. This monumental tapestry transforms the elusive motif into a physical image as if the clouds of smoke have been caught in the digitally woven structure. What White describes as the cotton’s "dream of becoming something other than itself" is a sensual play of questioning boundaries between different media, between the applied and fine arts, and between different physical conditions.- 2011(1301 PE, Los Angeles, CA, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)2011–The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
