\"straschel-artichoke\"<\/a>Since this week seems to be about juxtaposed color that causes visual shifting, I thought I’d check in on\u00a0Sandra Trachsel<\/a> of Koniz, Switzerland who creates some of the most splendid three-dimensional looking cane layouts. Her pieces are visual illusions of space and movement, all created with changes in shades and values of color and how they line up.<\/p>\n

Here is one of her pieces from about a year ago. She calls this\u00a0Necklace Artichoke<\/em>\u00a0which, as it is with a lot of her pieces, was\u00a0inspired by a quilt pattern, this one from quilter Sylvia Sch\u00e4fer<\/a>. Although the cane work looks very much like the sample quilt, this arrangement and repetition takes it a step beyond. The variation in the side and background colors of the beads adds to the energy and dimensional feeling. If you try to look at the necklace as a whole, the beads then look to glow from their centers. It’s a beautiful adaptation of the original pattern.<\/p>\n

Even though a lot of Sylvia’s canes come quite directly from quilt patterns, her precision and choices as she reinterprets them in polymer is quite inspiring. Take a look at her collection of pattern dominant work on her Flickr photostream<\/a>.<\/p>\n
