Work in progress...

Inainte de a pleca intr-o vacanta in Turcia, iata unul din proiectele mele, in curs de desfasurare... Marea mea pasiune pentru surface design, din resturi de textile, fire, staniol, ceva dantela, etc., lipite pe un suport textil si fixate putin cu niste cusaturi simple.

Before going on a vacation in Turkey, here's one of my projects in progress...My great passion for surface design, from textile pieces , yarns, foil, some lace, etc., glued to a cloth and secured a little with some simple stitches.

Bucatele folositoare...

Apoi am pictat totul cu acrilice, dupa inspiratie, si am facut cateva cusaturi libere, free motion stitching, cu masina de cusut. Urmeaza sa finalizez in niste carduri textile, daca nu-mi mai vin niste idei in Turcia...

Then I painted it with acrylics, as inspiration and made some free motion stitching with sewing machine. I will finish them as textile cards, if I do not get some other ideas in Turkey...

Expozitia Carmen Groza

Carmen Groza este o artista romanca ce locuieste, din 1982, in Belgia. A participat inca din 1968 la diferite expozitii nationale si internationale de arta decorativa si tapiserie. Este specialista in haute lice si creatiile ei sunt foarte bine apreciate.

In 11 septembrie am fost la vernisajul expozitiei sale bucurestene, la galeria Dialog.
Aici a prezentat o parte din lucrarile sale de tapiserie dar si lucrari recente de mixed media. Pe langa lucrarile de haute lice, m-au impresionat lucrarile sale de factura abstracta, din colaje de hartie de matase, tesaturi, resturi vegetale, stropi de aur si alte materiale neconventionale. Mi-a placut cum foloseste hartia de matase, colorata, sifonata, cu nervuri si sedimente minerale. Rezultatul acestui amestec este o organizare spatiala spontana, cu suprafete netede sau sifonate in care se amesteca aspectul brut si aleatoriu, dand un efect estetic si sofisticat.
Mi-au placut foarte mult lucrarile d-nei Carmen Groza.

Carmen Groza is a Romanian artist who lives since 1982 in Belgium. She has participated since 1968 in various national and international exhibitions of decorative art and tapestry. She specializes in haute lice and her creations are highly appreciated.

On September 11, I went to vernissage of her exhibition, in Bucharest, Dialog gallery.

Here she presented some of his works for tapestry but also mixed media. Besides the works of haute lice, I was impressed by her abstract works of paper collages silk paper, vegetable scraps, sprinkle gold and other unconventional materials. I liked how she used tissue paper, colored, wrinkled, with ribs and mineral deposits. The final result of this mix is a spontaneous spatial organization, with smooth or wrinkled surfaces, where raw and random aspect mix with an aesthetic and sophisticated effect.

I liked very much the work of Mrs. Carmen Groza.

Amintiri...

Uitandu-ma prin albumele mele de amintiri, am gasit niste fotografii facute in iulie 2009 la un open day acasa la Liz, o doamna americana care locuia atunci in Bucuresti. Impreuna cu cateva prietene din grupul Peticelul Romanesc, am fost invitate sa-i vedem lucrarile sale de arta textila si patchwork. Liz avea o colectie impresionanta de lucrari. Cu mare generozitate ne-a aratat lucrarile sale si ne-a explicat cum lucreaza. A fost o zi minunata de care imi amintesc cu mare placere.
Imaginile cred ca spun totul, nu mai este nevoie de cuvinte....

Looking back through my albums of memories, I found some photos taken in July 2009 at an open day, in the house of Liz, an American lady who lived at that time in Bucharest. Together with some friends of Romanian Patchwork group, I was invited to see her works of textile art and patchwork. Liz had an impressive collection of works. With great generosity she showed us her artworks and explained how she makes them. It was a great day that I remember with great pleasure.

Images I think that says it all, no need for words ....

  

Thank you, Liz!
