Palimpsest V

Sabrina Jauffret: “This piece began as a reflection on how memory settles into material. I wanted the textile to feel as though it were breathing — gathering, holding, and slowly releasing fragments of experience. The contrast between the tightly woven grid and the soft cascade of threads below reflects a tension I often explore: between structure and softness, control and surrender.
The strands that fall from the weave are neither knotted nor bound. They hang with quiet weight, moving gently — evoking water, roots, or the slow pull of time. It feels, to me, as if the woven surface had opened itself, allowing the past to unspool, strand by strand. Like a palimpsest, the piece invites layers to coexist: marks not erased but rewritten, histories overlapping without fully vanishing.
Each fiber carries its own story. The palette, grounded in ochres and mineral greys, draws from elemental tones — stone, bark, sun-warmed soil. These colors root the work in the landscape and in the quiet rituals of handcraft, gestures that echo across generations and geographies.
This is not a fixed portrait of place or identity. It’s more a sedimentation — a layered surface shaped by time, memory, and movement. Palimpsest is a quiet piece, but it speaks to something I feel deeply: that we are always in the process of becoming; that belonging is layered, never singular; and that place is continually rewritten by those who pass through it."
