Rolland
An Adidas tennis racket transformed by hand using silver Japanese artisanal thread.
The silver thread envelops the racket, transforming a familiar sports object into a striking textile sculpture. Rolland draws inspiration from the world of Roland-Garros, a place where precision, discipline and performance take on an almost ceremonial dimension. The silver thread lends the racket a sense of rarity, elevating an object designed for competition into a sculptural piece.A unique piece, entirely hand-crocheted in Paris by the artist.
“Through this piece, I bring together two worlds that are deeply meaningful to me: the physical energy of sport and the intimacy of making something by hand.” Sophie Inard
