West Coast Collection: 'Current' Cushion

Inspired by the movement of water through the rivers and coastal landscape of Pacific Canada, the ‘Current’ cushion brings together colour, texture and natural fibres in a richly tactile piece.

Only three ‘Current’ cushions were woven. Each follows the same design and palette, with subtle variations in colour, texture and composition inherent in the handweaving process.

‘Current’ is constructed entirely from textiles woven by hand on a frame loom. Three individual handwoven panels form the front and overlapping back of the cushion, each carefully matched before being stitched together entirely by hand. This method of construction allows the weaving itself to continue across every surface of the piece.

Wool and mercerised cotton are combined using traditional and hand-manipulated weaving techniques. Colour is developed through Cassandra’s process of yarn blending, in which multiple shades are selected using colour theory and woven alongside one another rather than relying on a single flat colour. From a distance, the colours visually blend; viewed more closely, individual strands and subtle shifts in tone become visible. The lustre of the cotton against the richness of the wool adds further depth and variation to the woven surface.

The front and overlapping back each form a distinct part of the same composition, making ‘Current’ a distinctive expression of the materials, colour and handweaving that define the West Coast Collection.
