‘Cubed’ is an evocative artwork crafted by combining linen thread with silver-plated copper wire. This piece examines how a reaction can often lead to transformation by pushing the boundaries of concept and materiality. The reaction that this piece evokes takes place when sunlight shines on the work, casting shadows through the airy structure.

The cube’s minimalist external structure invites viewers to delve into its internal space, where the warm hues of the copper wire create a gentle illumination from within. This interplay of light and shadow draws the eye inward, encouraging contemplation of the sculpture’s intricate design and the subtle shifts that capture the transient nature of time. ‘Cubed’ stands as a testament to the dynamic fusion of traditional and contemporary materials, reflecting both Ireland’s rich textile heritage and the innovative spirit of modern artistry.

Artist Bio

Maya Todd is a Bangor based artist and textile researcher working primarily with knitted and constructed textiles. She explores the impact of space, pattern and form; enabling her to later develop her work using constructed textile techniques.

Maya’s practice combines in depth research with process-led ideas that are strongly influenced by the fibres and materials she work with. Her work often combines fabric manipulation and construction techniques alongside hand-flat machine knitting as she takes an experimental approach by engaging with natural materials, traditional techniques and modern processes. These elements come together to create 3-dimensional structural work that is tactile and malleable; inspired by pushing the boundaries of fibre, form and process.

Maya is currently based at The Belfast School of Art, Ulster University as part of the Graduate in Residence programme. Additionally, she is currently taking part in Digital Art Studio Belfast’s ‘At Home’ Residency where she is developing a body of work based on the dialogue between craft and machine.
