This February, the FEU will host the exhibition Macro-micro[be] by artist-in-residence Kenza Ka. Kenza invites us to discover how she uses color to sublimate wool through textile artworks.
How to enhance wool through color? Macro-micro[be] offers a visual experience reminiscent of childhood, playing on the duality between the microscopic and the macroscopic. Graphic and textile experiments have led to the creation of unique samples, highlighting the freedom of gesture and intuitive exploration. The “Éveil Sensible” collection is a sensory exploration for young children. Inspired by nature, the collection features textures that awaken tactile curiosity. Macro-micro[be] is a project carried out as part of an educational partnership between the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs and LAINAMAC in 2022.
