Ten Unexpected Takes on Familiar Forms, From Woven Wheels to a Portrait in Hair

A woven motorcycle with rounded wicker forms

This motorcycle-shaped object is covered in woven material, giving its large body and wheel surrounds a basket-like texture. The front wheel, handlebars, frame, and seat are still legible, but their forms are softened by tightly repeated strands. Rounded woven panels define the rear section, and the exposed wheel spokes provide a thinner, more mechanical contrast. The tan and brown palette blends with the shelving behind it, while the circular front wheel creates a clear focal point at the left of the composition. The striking effect comes from the meeting of a recognizable vehicle outline and the dense, irregular weave across its surfaces. Curved wicker sections describe the bodywork, while rods and tubing trace the frame and handlebars. This contrast between linear structure and woven texture gives the object a layered appearance: one can follow both the motorcycle’s familiar geometry and the pattern of its covering. The surrounding display area offers scale and context, but the unusual material treatment remains the defining feature. It is a playful visual reinterpretation rather than a reason to assume anything about how the object functions.
