How would you describe your work and where do you think it fits within the sphere of contemporary art?
My chosen medium depends on the subject. In my series titled Involuntary Exclusion, I created a dialogue between consumerism and its effect on the human condition, where being becomes less important than to be visible. For this, I researched materials that had a dialogue with the subject such as industrial fabrics, copper wire and needles. My technique uses interlaced fabrics and stitching with copper wire to create abstract forms. The color of the fabrics also plays a very important role in my work – I like to be bold, to choose the colors and mix them up. I find myself breaking the rules, mixing materials to see the end results. Contemporary art allows an artist to express himself with freedom. I believe the more you research the materials the more you will find possibilities to create. Textile art allows the union of these possibilities; the limit is the imagination of the artist.
Tell us a bit about your process and what environment you like to work in?
First, I choose a subject then I do extensive research on it. After I look for the materials that are related to the subject, then my work begins. I like to work in a quiet environment with easy access to my tools. I am very practical.
Do you use a sketchbook?
I do not have the habit of using a sketchbook.
