World of Yarn
My artistic practice aims to build a subtle exchange between untraditional non-textile materials and textile techniques in order to challenge the normative distinction between the arts and crafts coming from the art critics. The daily work in the studio consists of a continuous exploration of the relationship between the technical feasibility of a particular material, its objective characteristics and potential for use in an artistic communication of an idea in the form of installations commissions or gallery presentation.
My work evolves from an extensive knowledge of materials and long-standing fascination with their inherent beauty and individual opportunities - be it discarded objects, various industrially produced textiles or high-tech lighting equipment. Material and expression are processed by means of textile techniques in a creative, intuitive process leading to the final work.
The conceptual work has increased my interest in man's historical, cultural and economic position in modern society, where issues such as violence, greed and lack of acceptance of other cultures and religions play a major role. The multicultural society is a fact, and the ability to integrate will play a crucial role in the development of future sustainable communities.
