ARTIST STATMENT
I am an adept of intuitive meditative knitting. As a result of immersion in the process, hidden meanings appear in the created work. We abandon the idea of a goal and surrender to the flow of time.
Creating works from "threads" is like feeling life, the world, and their interaction with a person through tactile weaving. I am exploring the relationship between the inner and the outer, both in man himself and in the universe.
In my work, I use flexible materials that can be transformed, belong to a place, or can convey a story. These are mainly textiles, threads, wire, and plastic. I use their symbiosis and rift to find new meanings. This is the foundation for rethinking the topic of intelligent interaction.
The craft of knitting As a precedent phenomenon, it is the basis of my creative approach to the aesthetic transformation of material, craft into art, and is associated with the creation of knitted meanings based on intertext.
