Collision No2 | Jacob Monk I Woven Wool

£1,400.00

Woven Wool (Comes Framed)

Size: 29cm x 75cm

Jacob Monk is a hand-weaver and textile artist based in South East London, working from a practice grounded in material experimentation and contemporary craft. A graduate of Central Saint Martins, Monk engages with the ancient technique of ikat — in which pattern is formed through the binding and dyeing of warp threads prior to weaving — reinterpreting its logic through a distinctly modern lens.

His work is characterised by richly layered colour fields and rhythmic, unpredictable shifts in tone, often drawing inspiration from natural forms such as tropical flora and exotic birdlife. By combining traditional ikat processes with dip-dyeing and experimental colour placement, Monk introduces a sense of movement and painterly abstraction within the woven surface, resulting in textiles that feel both precise and spontaneous.

Positioned between heritage and innovation, his practice honours the history and technical complexity of weaving while reimagining its visual language for contemporary contexts. Presented as framed textile works, Monk’s pieces extend the boundaries of craft into the realm of collectible design and spatial art.
