ANYA MOLYVIATIS

SUBMERGE

AUG 30 - NOV 15, 2024


SCAD Museum of Art

In her debut solo museum exhibition, Anya Molyviatis presents a new series of her signature three-dimensional textiles exploring relationships between light and materiality. The exhibition includes Molyviatis’ largest weavings to date, simultaneously exquisite in their intricate construction and powerful in their grand visual impact. In works featuring a diamond waffle pattern developed by the artist, Molyviatis uses both the physical structure of interwoven threads and the visual cues of color juxtapositions to convey an enhanced sense of depth. To create each work, Molyviatis weaves hand-dyed cotton with mohair wool, meticulously threading thousands of fine fibers through 40 harnesses of a vintage loom — one of only 20 in existence worldwide. The resulting works harmoniously blend technology and craft, with compositions that augment our perception of weight, density, and sound through awe-inspiring designs. Enveloping the gallery in soft gradients of texture and color, Molyviatis offers visitors an extraordinary setting for contemplation and reflection.
