Fragment bedrukte trijp met dessin "Arenden" 1920

This fragment of printed velvet with the "Arenden" design was made by Chris Lebeau. I imagine Lebeau deeply engaged in the act of creation, his mind buzzing with ideas. What was it like to spend all day dreaming up these eagle motifs? I imagine he's thinking about all those eagles, about symbolism, about how images can work on us, how they fly into our minds. The velvety nap catches the light, creating a play of shadows. The texture, the repeated eagles, the dark, moody colour—they all add layers of complexity. The surface of the textile invites touch, an intimate connection to the artist's labor. How might a pattern like this shift the feeling in a room? I bet Lebeau thought a lot about that, because artists are always dreaming about how their work might affect the world.
