“In the 70’s Margot Rolf explored new ways of looking at textiles. Like microphotographic
magnifications that reveal the wonderful order of organic tissues otherwise unseen,
Rolf’s dimensional blown-up textile structures testify to age-old inventiveness and
- through
her - our new awareness of it. The smooth monifilaments she employs to
clarify the order of the interlacings and give body to the structures further seperates
these pieces from their mundane counterparts.
The purity of a machine aesthetic is consistent with her structural emphasis on
the horizontal/vertical principal of weaving. A first glance elicits exitement; careful
examination reveals other dimensions or aspects.” (Milded Constantine / Jack Lenor
