1. Pollack at Donghia, Suite 631
The RISD Museum Collection, Women’s Work: A Common Thread, marks Pollack’s second collaboration with the Museum of Art of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Nineteen artifacts from the Museum’s extensive archives, spanning centuries and continents, became the jumping off point for the Studio’s creative, innovative and unexpected interpretations of items as varied as Native American Crow Indian moccasins and 18th-century Flemish lace, an Ottoman Turkish embroidered towel and American knit stockings from c. 1900. The theme that unites this diverse group is that each piece was handmade by women, as was typical in their respective cultures. Throughout much of history, women’s worth was often measured by their competency in “needle arts”, as dowries worldwide attest. This collection honors this historical “Women’s Work” in our modern day exploration of fi bers and color, weaves and texture, though Pollack relies on the latest in contemporary manufacturing techniques to articulate today’s common thread in beautiful textile design. Available at Donghia.
