Selvedge Wall Installation
Hendersonville, North Carolina
Conceived as an ephemeral artistic intervention within a historic textile mill, this site-specific installation explores the poetic transformation of industrial waste into a sacred architectural threshold. Commissioned for a wedding, the design utilizes miles of discarded selvedge—the frayed, manufactured waste material cut from the edges of woven fabric during the industrial weaving process. Rather than introducing alien materials into the space, the architecture reclaims this localized byproduct to construct a monumental, highly permeable "wall" suspended from the steel structure above.

This diaphanous partition serves a dual programmatic purpose, orchestrating a soft spatial separation between the solemnity of the wedding ceremony space and the celebratory energy of the reception party space. In a theoretical nod to Gottfried Semper’s theories on the textile origins of architecture, the hanging strands create a non-structural barrier that remains profoundly tactile and dynamic. The shifting veil of selvedge responds to the slightest air currents, catching light and shadow to create a ghostlike blur between the two distinct realms. This adaptive reuse textile installation effectively recontextualizes industrial refuse, turning an overlooked remnant of labor into a poetic, celebratory boundary that honors both the history of the site and the transformative nature of ritual.
