Big Red

2014

Big Red is a hand-woven textile work by Brent Wadden, combining wool, cotton, and acrylic fibers on canvas and presented in the artist's own frame. Wadden's labor-intensive weaving process results in a richly textured surface dominated by bold swaths of red, reflecting his interest in the meditative and craft-based traditions of fiber art. The work bridges painting and textile, inviting consideration of abstraction through the tactile language of hand-made cloth.
