The preliminary printing of this series was completed in collaboration with master paper maker Petra Fuzes at the Paper Mill Orfu.
When creating the lace imprints, I often placed the fabric asymmetrically, deliberately deconstructing the composition upon the still-soft, pure cotton pulp, so that the imprint and the painting together might reach a state of harmony and balance.
The imprint alone is incomplete without the overpainting, yet the painted composition loses its essence without the monochrome pattern. Through this dialogue, I sought to fuse two different times and two creative intentions of different origins - allowing their unity to bring forth a new life for these remarkable works of craft.
Ultimately, this series is both remembrance and transformation: an act of honoring the past while carrying it into the present, so that what was once overlooked or hidden may emerge, alive again, with renewed resonance.
