REVERIES

Tapestries are the heart of my work because of the absolutely unlimited interplay of pattern, color and texture – there is no other medium where this Trinity is so fully realized. The aim of my work is subverting the original traditional imagery and rewriting the fabric’s narrative with mixed mediums like thread, mettalic foil, paint and collaging fabrics.. What I intend is to inverse the idea of classical tapestry chronicals pattern and instead focusing on single motifs to be embellished and creating a whole new context. The neutral, pastoral and often bland scenes are converted in modern, bold, daring, surprising, romanticly surreal almoast fantastic new world. The normality and quietness of the traditional imagery are covered with trees made of pearls, flying jeweled birds, animals dressed in patterned fabrics, water made of chains, ladies and their loving man dressed with laces, metalic foil, tree dimensional flowers, popping forests made of vintage jewels . I am very much into the spontaneity of the process – most of my work happens very much in the moment. It is a slow process that resembles a new beginning, building a new relationship that needs time to mature, to open and show its new unique identity. As every tapestry is unique.
