Picture Set Of The Month - September - Psychedelic Textiles

Kustaa Saksi (born 1975) is a Finnish textile designer.  

He uses a jacquard loom to create his work.

He has been exhibiting internationally since 2004. 

His work has also appeared in several UK museums.

With titles to his exhibitions like 'Hypnopomic'
'Call to the Wild', 'Paper Pavillion' and 'Travel as a Tool'
he draws a lot of attention to some startling work.   

His work is in the collections of the Victoria & Albert
museum, and several other museums in Finland,
France, and in The Netherlands     

To me his designs compare well  with the record sleeves
of the psychedelic albums from the 1960s that I first saw
in the 1980s, when I first discovered The Grateful Dead.
