to stitch; a thread or line that holds things together- this is the literal translation of the ancient sanskrit word "sutra". in the "healing sutras" i use contemporary embroidery on antique fabric as a canvas to explore the common threads that bind countless generations of women. wounds - both physical and psychological - are given life using delicate, meditative stitches. traditionally thought of as "woman's work", sewing is a time consuming and contemplative process, each thoughtfully considered stitch becoming integral to the whole.

when i first saw erin endicott embroidery i had

to gasp for air. it's so stunningly beautiful-

that i have to share it with the world.

it's captivating, hauntingly beautiful, delicate,

organic, subtle, memories, threads, mended,

comely, cloth, antique + inspirational.

erin is having a solo show in new york city @ the White

Rabbit-opening friday october 1st. this is a link for the show http://artanagnorisis.wordpress.com/.

i wish i could be there!

process:

God enters through the wound”

-CJ Jung

Antique fabrics, clothing and linens

My dowry passed down through generations

My history woven into this cloth

A fine cotton tablecloth

Lovingly mended by my great-grandmother

Becomes a little girl’s dress

Delicate cloth

Beautifully worn and threadbare

Stained by an artist’s hand

Walnut ink flowing into complex organic shapes

Subtleties of value, depth

Bringing the wound to life

Lost in the meditation of stitching

Repetition, contemplation

From within the fabric

Memories reveal themselves

Stitches, like words

The story grows

Lines graceful, unfurling

Drawing with thread

The Healing begins

new beginnings.... feeling the need for something "gentler"

thank you erin...

the pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous
feeling of the words being there,
written in invisible ink + clamoring to become visible.

elisa stroyck

berlin born elisa strozyk is a wunderkind. her work

intends to look at materials in new ways. the wooden

carpet can lay flat on the floor, but can also

be playfully positioned due to it's flexible form.

a flexible lampshade which can be

transformed manually in three-dimensional ways.

thermochromics translate a temperature- change into a colour-change.
she also thinks about the radiator as an everyday object. through the colour change of the patterns it is told that the radiator is turned on or off. smart + environmental friendly- i love

unlimited space

spanish architect hector ruiz-valazquez , has transformed the attic space of an early 20th century building in madrid, into a new living space with a variety of levels. with — on the floor, the walls + even the ceiling white ceremic tiles. incredible, but who's doing the cleaning? to move around in few square meters at different heights, going up + down: to explore the space. the transition between the rooms is continuous + lets the movement flow freely across the numerous levels.
