Read “From Surface to materiality to space”, text for catalogue by Stig L. Andersson:
The experience of Louise Sass’ works is based on concepts like colour, surface and pattern. The compositional order which traditional textile-printing works is broken down and the material appears as one thing. But when you look closer as in the works with ink stripes on paper from 1997-98, cracks appear, interstices and transitions. Constantly the surface changes character and is suddenly many directions, infinitely many orientations.

En Route. “Undervejs” is the title of two large-format printed textile surfaces made by Louise Sass in 1996-97. “En Route” is printed on silk, each surface separately with many applications. On the black-painted ground the linear pattern has been etched again and again, each time slightly displaced; at first as faint, faded colors, but gradually, as the black base color is etched away, in brighter and brighter lines. Finally dark lines were printed on the tracks across the surface to create order in apparent chaos. The myriad of scintillating tracks across the surface is like an electrical discharge, an expansion of space. Vibeke Woldbye, Danish Museum of Decorative Art, from catalogue.
