About this artwork
A hyper-realistic drawing of a household washcloth by artist Simone Giaiacopi. This drawing is done with multicolor BIC pens on paper glued on wood with acrylic paint used for the background. Part of Simone's series on cloth. It is his tribute to these everyday objects to highlight their beauty through intricate details. It is magnified to show the individual warp and weft threads. While these textiles are every day, they look lived and worn. They allude both to the work of those who made them and to the life of those who used them.
