Folds

Ideas, like things in nature, often have so many foldsthat they do not always lend themselves to extension.

The project Folds includes series of searches for the perfect form of imperfection - the folded one.

In her journey, artist created several peaces on canvas, digital, paper and photo variations of the fold, taken out of the untouchable cosmic matter form and pure flash. 


Studying the work of women artists of the Baroque and Renaissance, I captured fragments of folds on the fabrics and clothes of the heroes of the paintings Artemisia Gentileschi (Susanna and the Elders,  Judith, beheading Holofernes, Danae, Cleopatra).
I am looking for the shape of a fold fragment on the plane and in the volume.
As an observer in everyday life, I begin fragment how the body interacts with matter, and find the beauty of curving matter fitting into the world.
Among simulations and chaos, where everything is artificially subdued created systems, in the absence of harmony I try to see beauty, highlight and fix its fragment.
These are fragments of the fold that contain opposites is a kind of embodiment of the world of beauty and perception of reality. The missing fragments form new spaces, caverns, cavities.
The beauty of the fold itself is in its infinity, in its unification internal and external, overt and hidden, real and virtual, dark and light in a fragment of human life on earth.
