Using naturally dyed cotton and exploring transformation through origami, Lucerne, Switzerland-based artist Sipho Mabona creates fascinating abstract works.
While my earlier works have smooth monochromatic surfaces in my latest body of work I felt an urge to introduce a painterly gesture and an element of chance to counterbalance the stringent geometrical appearance of the crease-patterns… Both Origami and natural dyeing are techniques that have rarely been harnessed in fine arts that unlock an intriguing field of unexplored narratives.
