new friends: nothing is new when you meet weird friends

New-Friends-at-matter-new-york

Nothing is new when you meet weird friends that become new friendsKelly Rakowski and Alexandra Segreti stalked each others blogs for a while until they started to work together. They liked the selection, the presentation and attitude of the other. This adoration eventually lead to a collaboration that is based on fine handmade weavings. I saw it myself when I bumped into the girls at Matter gallery New York. Both started to work on a 3 meter long piece, specially made for the gallery, which has to be finished today. The large-scale weaving stretches from floor to ceiling on a custom built loom. There might be nothing new about weavings, handmade carpets and wall pieces, but they obviously developed a common language that makes working together a non effort activity.
