Woven In

Dani Marti, "Under the Crescent Moon", for Wardle+Hassel and Lend Lease

Dani Marti, "Time is the fire in which we burn", for Hilton Hotel

Dani Marti, "Off My Noodle", for Newcastle City Council

Dani Marti's works consists of immaculate woven patterns of ropes, which dramatically suggests balance and composure. He also incorporates cables, pool noodles and other flexible material to create elaborate three dimensional paintings, sculptures, and installations. Using the free-flowing rope as a symbol, the artist meditates on the idea of friction within our daily lives (e.g. complicated relationships and debatable questions on power). At the end, it all reflects back on justifications of constraint and to an extent, its breaks down its direct influence on sociopolitical and philosophical concepts within society. Nevertheless, each of his abstract piece, be it a painting, sculpture or an installation will dominate the environment it is placed in and most importantly, create a more dynamic feel.
