Dani Marti’s Sydney home studio, huge spools of industrial rope in a kaleidoscope of colours dominate the living and working space, transforming it into a miniature textile factory or fabric atelier. On the walls, Marti’s pristine minimalist artworks incorporate strips of nylon, rubber and polypropylene hand-woven into rhythmic abstract patterns. Thick textural ropes in dazzling pigments are repeatedly intertwined and stretched over protruding wooden frames, their tactile surfaces both painterly and sculptural. The artist’s love of the clean, smooth durability of urban plastic materials combined with tradi- tional weaving methods make for an unlikely meeting of craft-based practices and a sleek modernist aesthetic.
