Fay McCaul
About
British artist Fay McCaul creates her luminous textiles by enclosing varied materials — mirror shards, plywood, metal, plastic — into knitted pockets. McCaul also invented a new textile that melds reflective materials via a heat-bonding process. A Royal College of Art graduate, her work has been exhibited widely across the globe.
Textiles & glass
McCaul’s artworks combine modern materials with traditional textile techniques to create intricate hand-crafted surfaces. Often working large-scale in architectural contexts, McCaul’s works take on a site-specific and dynamic role for interiors.
The artist re-invents the traditional techniques of knitting and weaving, as well as incorporating contemporary approaches, such as working with glass infused with textiles.
A key element of the artworks is their relationship to light: within the design of each piece is a subtle focus on how light interacts with the artwork's surface, both through reflection and filtered translucency.
