EXPLANT
EXPLANT originates from the observation of textile structures in moments of dissolution — a threshold in which woven order loosens and form begins to shift. Threads slip, loops emerge, tension redistributes; the structure softens into a more autonomous line.
This transitional condition is rearticulated through wire. Chosen for its capacity to carry both delicacy and tension, the fine wire sustains looseness without collapse. It follows the hand while retaining its own resistance, introducing bends, radii, and a distinct line logic. In this translation, dissolution becomes legible as a precise, durable configuration.
From this process a series of small wire structures emerges, understood as an explant culture: fragments detached from their original context and placed into new conditions, where they reorganize and develop their own tension, density, and presence through manual, bodily engagement.
Installed as a wall-based constellation, explanted structures form a laboratory-like field: individual structures held in relation, inviting close attention to a moment suspended between disintegration and formation.
EXPLANT renders dissolution as a sustained state of ongoing formation.
