BOXY JACQUARD SWEATER IN BLUE

Where the orange sweater begins in heat and density, this one begins in atmosphere. The jacquard motif was developed from a different hand-painted gouache study: brushstrokes laid across each other in overlapping grids, the marks in steel blue and warm grey, dissolving the structure of the grid into something closer to abstraction. The weave reference is present — the same interlocking logic — but here the palette shifts the register from material to optical.

The blurred blue photographic study — movement caught in deep navy, the structure of cloth or architecture or landscape rendered indistinct — was the companion reference, the version of the motif that admits uncertainty into it.

The cut is identical to the orange: boxy, wide at the shoulder, square at the body. The two sweaters are designed to be understood together — same silhouette, the colour as the entire distinguishing argument. Both are archival. Both are finite.
