Michelle Grabner
Michelle Grabner uses careful, hand-painted gestures to reproduce the intricate details and recurring patterns of fabrics such as lace, knit and gingham. Her preoccupation with grid-like compositions in textiles arises from feminist inflected inquiries into the history of weaving and pattern-making, and is tied to her belief that various power structures are reflected in the patterns and abstract arrangements that surround us in the materials of everyday life. Grabner states, ‘because I believe that all forms are political, I have committed myself and 30 years of painting to re-articulating vernacular patterns in order to shift the unobserved into critical sight.’ These overlooked quotidian textiles, often associated with perfunctory feminine labour, are elevated to the monumental status of minimalist painting. Her process becomes a subtle subversion of dominant order, where meditative insistence on similarity works to amplify the power of miniscule variation.
