KO SKRINJA STARE MAME POSTANE PRETESNA
Ko skrinja stare mame postane pretesna, pobegnejo na plan vsi spomini...
Ko sem bila stara približno štiri leta, sva s staro mamo sedeli na kavču v njeni dnevni sobi. Kvačkala je prečudovit prt. »Stara mama, tudi jaz bi poskusila kvačkati,« sem jo prosila. Seveda je dovolila.
Takrat sem prvič prijela v roke kvačko in čeprav je bil rezultat bolj boren, nekaj vozlov, ki jih je komaj razvozlala, se je rodila ljubezen do ročnih del.
Danes svoje znanje uporabljam predvsem za raziskovanje starih tehnik pletenja in kvačkanja ter uporabe le-teh v novih izdelkih.
Nastala je nova kolekcija unikatnih svetilk. Izdelane so z uporabo različnih vzorcev kvačkanja, pa tudi v kombinaciji pletenja in kvačkanja. Vzorci so predelani tako, da se prilegajo okroglim in ovalnim oblikam.
Svetilke so lahko popolnoma prosojne, narejene iz subtilne čipke različnih vzorcev. Tako difuzna svetloba, ki prehaja skozi mrežasto strukturo, ustvarja nenavadne svetlobne učinke v prostoru.
Kvačkana čipka pa lahko prehaja v polgosto pletenje, kar zasenči notranjost svetilke in omeji svetlob. Kjer pa površina preide v čipko, se svetloba razlije prosto po prostoru.
Kolecija svetilk je nastala predvsem na podlagi želje po izražanju svojih občutkov in čustev, ki kot projekcija iz sanj zaživijo v spominih na staro mamo ... spominih na najine skupne urice preživete ob otroških pogovorih na njenem kavču ter kvačkanju in pletenju prečudovitih izdelkov, ki so nastajali pod njenimi rokami.
Tako so spomini ujeti v sanje kot čipka, ki se prepleta, čipka ki diha, čipka ki živi. Ko jo osvetliš znoztraj, zažari v vsej svoji lepoti in dobi pravi pomen.
WHEN GRANNY'S CHEST BECOMES TOO SMALL
When granny's chest becomes too small, all the memories step out ...
When I was about four years old me and my granny were sitting on the couch in her living room. She was crocheting a beautiful cloth. I said, "Granny, I would like to try crochet too." And of course she allowed me to.
That was the first time I held a chochet hook in my hands and even though the result wasn't too great, a few knots she could hardly unknot, a new love for needlework was born.
Today I use my knowledge mostly for exploring old techniques of knitting and crocheting and their use in new products.
A new collection of unique lamps was formed. They were made with the use of different crocheting patterns and also with combining knitting and crocheting. The patterns are reformed so they fit round and oval shapes.
The lamps can be completely transparent, made from a subtle lace of different patterns. Tis is how the diffuse light, coming through the net structure, creates unusual lightning effects in the room.
Crocheted lace can turn into semy-dense knitting which partly shades the inner part of the lamp and thus limits the light... but where the surface resambles lace, the light spreads in the room.
The lamp collection resulted especially from the desire to express feelings and emotions, which like a projection from dreams come to live in memory of granmother...in memory of the hours spent together and the child talk oh her couch, crocheting and knitting wonderful products, made by her hands.
And so are memories cought in dreams like twisted lace, lace that breathes, lace that lives. When you illuminate it from the inside it glows up in all its beauty and becomes meaningful.
