Michelle Robinson’s Passementerie Weavings Demonstrate Elaborate Detail and Design

Continuing her practice rooted in the extensive art of passementerie, Michelle Robinson weaves vibrant threads into geometric wall hangings that curve, puff, and meander.

Over the last two years, the Sydney-based artist has been learning how to spin fiber. “I didn’t expect the pure meditative state spinning allows, which is in stark contrast to the complex pre-planning that is involved for my weaving practice, especially passementerie,” she explains. “I am a chronic over-thinker and the countless options afforded in fiber work can often lead to a writer-block of sorts.”

Though Robinson initially had goals to scale up her work, she’s instead found more growth in creating an ongoing series of small-scale iterations, experimenting with different fibers, yarn denier, and and color palettes.

Robinson has been also been working on incorporating her vast personal collection of of woven textile cloths, embellishments, and wallpaper, which she still keeps from her previous endeavors in soft furnishings.
