The Piranesi Vase : From Parts to Whole In 1769, Piranesi had acquired a great number of ancient fragments found at the Pantanello, a site on the grounds of the villa of the Roman Emperor Hadrian at Tivoli near Rome. These fragments were incorporated into the vase ( two out of three of the bull’s heads on the base, sections of the lion’s legs and parts of the relief depicting satyrs picking grapes ) - the rest are entirely of his own making, informed by his knowledge and understanding but essentially based on fragments that were all around him.

In Piranesi’s descriptions on the vase, Piranesi credited the origins of the vase as the Villa Adriana without mentioning that only small fragments of it were antique.

Rules of Translation

15

Plain Weave

Rules of Translation

The warp threads ( vertical ) are held, stationery and intension while the weft threads ( horizontal ) is simultaneously drawn through and inserted over and under the warp threads. The warp and the weft are aligned so they form a simple criss-cross pattern. The unprimed canvas is usually plain woven, the thread density is evenly distributed and becomes less prone to expansion or contraction due to moisture in the atmosphere.

Twill W

The Twill Weave is done by passing the we warp threads ( vertical ) and then under tw an offset between rows to create a diagon woven fabric gene

eft threads ( horizontal ) over one or more wo or more warp threads and so on, with nal pattern. Because of this structure, twill erally drapes well.

Weave

The Warp and the Weft

16

Satin Weave

The Satin Weave tyically has a glossy surfaace and a dull back, made by four or more weft yarns ( horizontal ) floating over a warp yarn or vice versa. A satin fabric tends to have a high luster due to the high number of floats ( missed interlacings ) in the weave.

Rules of Translation

2.2 - The Unprimed Canvas

Rules of Translation

Boro : The Utilitarian Nature of the Sashinko Stitch Boro textiles are usually sewn from the 19th and early 20th century rags and patches of indigo dyed cotton.

17

In most cases, the arrangement of patches and mending stitches is born out of necessity and happenstance, on what is available in the moment and was not planned by the maker beforehand.

Rules of Translation

Sashinko is a form of reinforement stitching from Japan that started out as a practical need during the Edo era. Today it is often used purely for decorative purposes in quilting and embroidery - the stitiching is most dense where it needs to be.

Boro : A Palimpsest of Parts The Boro begins to be seen as a palimpsest of parts, dissected into three layers :

19

Layer 1 : - Base Layer 2 : - Connection Layer 3 : - Infill

Rules of Translation

Each layer consists of patches usually larger than the proceeding one. The diversity of patches on any given piece is a veritable encyclopedia of hand loomed fabrics from historical Japan.

Deterioration on the Canvas

Rules of Translation

21

Paintings on stretched canvas deteriorate first through embrittlement and cracking, then through long term relaxation under tension. Much of the tension is carried in the paint and ground, not in the canvas, but where the paint cracks, all the tension is taken by the canvas. Re-alignment of forces causes the islands of paint to cup and separate from the canvas, causing the familiar raised cracks and cupped paint on the painting.
