the reflection series called "x-flash" is consistent with the "dead end" concept.
"x-flash" is an optical form of "dead end".
light finds its way and comes into the ruined building through an opening in the wall. the light reaches the reflective piece as "dead end" and returns. ( u-shaped belt symbolically displayed on a cracked pane of glass in #71)
the come-and-go of the light. it's one of the correspondances.
a correspondance network set up in the presentation/collection.
plus and minus, north pole and south pole, sunlight and shadow, outside and inside, self-edge and dead end,
the new collection and the old cannery,
the pipes laid above that are three-dimensional and the one-piece dead end trousers' pattern (the identical one in the store window in the fifth image, #71) that is laid flat on the floor,
(imaginatively wrapping the one-piece pattern around the pipes as though they were legs)
"dripping sound" recorded in the weathered space after the rain and fallen silent finger gloves disjointed from the arthrosic hands of the jacket...etc,
our senses and his ideas.
then, active lights and still lifes in knits or textiles out of the reflective yarn enchanted by the crystal glass particle coat.
just like "lined-unlined jacket construction" (where the respective jacket panels are lined before constructed), it's another instance of ccp oxymoron, "intentional-unintentional communication" (which leads to his old topic, environmental psychology theme) as in the x-flash garment's unavoidable response to light and automatic indication of not only its own existence but also the light source's existence even if the source is invisible from the standpoint.
the visualization of the correspondances, the ties, that take place and constitute the world image as "one-piece".

its worth to mention that in this 2010 collection, he explored object-dyed selvedge, where the fabric absorbs the dye and the selvedge resists it.

yes that can be his 2010 take on this theme.
I think carol christian poell in general ( including how the pieces fit ) is attractive and repellent, in every sense of the adjectives.
in this collection, he interprets attractive particularly as magnetic, laceable, permeable...
and repellent as reflective, protective, dead-end, etc.




thanks for the links mistress f
looks like romans are lucky.



you're welcome softgrey
I like the ears on the coats.
and of course some styles function as lights in the shape of coat as well.
