FRENCH KNOTS ON PAPER

FRENCH KNOTS LETTERS 01 (RED)

  • The French Knots series by Camilla Howalt is a tactile and conceptual exploration of language, abstraction, and the beauty of imperfection. Inspired by Braille but breaking free from rigid codes, these works use thread to symbolize the fluidity and complexity of communication. The knots and loose ends extend beyond the surface, blurring the boundaries between textile art and painting—an evocative commentary on connection, disarray, and the threads that tie us together.

  • Each piece is hand-stitched with red thread on Moleskine squared paper (11.8 × 18.0 cm), emphasizing texture, materiality, and the interplay between structure and intuition.

    The organic arrangement of knots disrupts traditional patterns, reinforcing the series' embrace of imperfection.

    • Medium: Red polyester thread on Moleskine squared paper

BY CAMILLA HOWALT

The French Knots series by Camilla Howalt is a tactile and conceptual exploration of language, abstraction, and the beauty of imperfection. Created with red thread on paper, these works loosely engage with Braille, departing from structured codes to embrace a freer, more intuitive form. The knots and threads extend beyond the surface, with loose ends radiating in all directions, symbolizing the complexity and untidiness of communication. This series blurs the boundaries between textile art and painting, offering a visceral and evocative commentary on connection, disarray, and the threads that tie us together.

The original mixed-media pieces, rendered on 11.8 x 18.0 cm moleskin squared paper, highlight the materiality of thread and paper in their raw and authentic form.

*Soon available as A2 prints, the series' intricate textures and layered symbolism are translated into high-quality reproductions that retain their expressive power.
