Matilda Dominique: The Structure Library

An in-depth exploration of the waffle weave technique

From the publisher:
The Structure Library is an artistic research project by artist and weaver Matilda Dominique. The project centres on an in-depth exploration of the waffle weave technique, approached as a sculptural, spatial, and historically layered structure. Through systematic experiments with wool, dyeing and post-weaving treatments she investigates how material, scale, and process shape the three-dimensional potential of the weave. In the exhibition at Konst-ig she will show new works together with earlier pieces documented in the book. The publication gathers texts, images, notes, and sketches that situate the project within broader historical and cultural narratives and includes contributions from art writers, designers, archivists, and artists whose perspectives expand the context of Dominique’s sustained investigation into woven structure as both material practice and cultural artifact. The book was initially published in Swedish in 2020 and has now been reworked and translated to English.
