Villa Nova Field Sienna
Embarking on a creative collaboration with talented potter Kyra Cane, Villa Nova have created an engaging and uninhibited range of textiles. Kyra’s ceramics and drawings capture the dynamism and wildness of landscapes, through mark making and the alchemy of the making process.
The collection encapsulates the elemental flow of energy of the potter’s wheel and fluid movement of brush marks that layer to form areas of colour and tone. Prints that feature vast dramatic explosions of abstract pattern sit with designs that take influence from pastel drawings of tree lined and grassy horizons. These designs have an energetic pace, but also retain the chalky softness of the original artwork. The dramatic feel of the collection is tamed by soft fluid sheers and intriguing textured weaves with a subtle wash of colour.
Taken from a small pastel drawing by ceramic artist Kyra Cane of a field on the Welbeck country estate. The original drawing has been enlarged greatly in scale to become an impactful and dramatic print. Each stroke of the pastel captures the sway and ripple of the grasses as they vigorously move in the elements. Energetic, bold, colourful marks fade and intensify to build layers of spontaneous colour that add visual texture to this mesmerising pattern. Field is printed on a soft, brushed cotton that captures the chalkiness of the artists pastels.
