Rita Parniczky’s ‘X-Ray Fabric’ is entirely hand-woven using an innovative weave technique that she has developed in order to manipulate the warp threads and create special effects. Her technique forces the threads out of their usual place and draws detailed patterns across the material. X-Ray Fabric could indeed be described as the ‘skeleton’ of a fabric. Displaying the vertical threads (warp) that are often hidden in a woven fabric, she employs unusual yarn combinations to create a translucent material with intricate detailing. Ever curious to look into hidden ‘worlds’ and expose these through her work, Rita has embraced the challenge of showing the unfamiliar and unexpected, and her attention to detail and high quality shines through. Rita has developed this radical new material to a high standard and she continues to work towards luxury art and design commissions from her London-based studio at Cockpit Arts in Holborn. Experimenting with unusual materials and ideas, Rita delivers unique collectible art and design pieces, and completes large scale commissions for private and public spaces.
