Pasta Ribbons and Pappardelle

My work with pasta ribbons began with an image, a strip of pasta carrying the same intention as a designed textile ribbon, from one end to the other without interruption.

Although they may look similar, pappardelle and pasta ribbons are not the same. Pappardelle comes from a direct cut of the sheet and follows a well-known traditional form. Pasta ribbons follow a different logic. They are continuous strips where design is framed and runs without interruption, no fixed length, no fixed width.

In this gallery, design stops being decorative and becomes structural. The pasta speaks in the language of textiles ribbons, borders, repetition, the tension between line and color and that shift changes everything about how these pieces are made, and how they are experienced.
