As the Embroidered letters shape themselves

Jul 03, 2008 0 Replies

I go on embroidering the `part` of the work , that includes many words , which are shaped to fit and become little Jewels or representations of Older traditions, made into Contemporarry feelings.



The work has it`s own power over me ,,, i let it now lead me. Time and again i find myself USING and Shaping Letters so that Their VISUAL FORM , will TELL , part of the story that lies in my work ..



I make words into trees, and other symbols. Everytime i think it is a new adventure , but in fact when i look back at my work over the years , there they are letters and words appear in many places ..



I even shaped myself a Monogram made of a the Hebrew MEM and the Latin M ..



Of course colors too play an important role in my work .. The historical knowledge of the Use of colors plays an important role in my work as well . mirjam
