Dawn Bendick

  • Dawn Bendick x FJ HAKIMIAN

    Best known for her sculptural works in glass, Dawn Bendick brings the same intensity, precision, and chromatic control to textile. Her rugs translate a sculptural way of thinking into woven form, works that occupy the ground while retaining a strong sense of volume, rhythm, and presence.

Pond

An irregular, freeform outline breaks entirely from the rectangular convention, its edges swelling and pinching into soft undulating curves. The open lavender-grey ground is left largely bare except for scattered clusters of cream, olive and taupe leaf shapes gathered at the upper left and lower corners, echoing a loose sprig of foliage fallen across the surface. A layered border of dusty rose, mustard yellow, pale grey-green and charcoal traces the wavering perimeter in concentric bands, following every curve and notch of the shape.

Gradated Pavers

The field is left entirely open in a pale ivory tone, uninterrupted by any central motif. Its border is not a straight band but a jagged zigzag edge cut directly into the piece's outline, traced in narrow lines of taupe, grey, and soft brown that echo the same zigzag rhythm around all four sides. The unconventional, star-toothed silhouette is the most distinctive feature, replacing the usual rectangular format.
