“Keelatud armastus. Tekstiiliteraapia läbi kasvava kunstiteose loomise”

2023

The aim of this work is to look for an answer to the question, how should people live, who can not own indoor plants and interior textiles due to allergic asthma? As one possible solution, I propose to combine these two fields instead, and make a temporarily growing textile artwork. It’s a so-called “textile houseplant” that needs care and love to be able to offer the same to its owner. This living textile offers a temporary replacement for both indoor plants and textiles. It does not contain soil, where unpleasant mold and bacteria can develop, because the seeds have a lot of power, needing only water to grow. After use, the artwork goes to the bio-waste bin, because it’s all natural. Using the example of plant growth, we can also talk about the need for circulation in the textile field. For plants, it’s short enough and visible.

The journey to create such a work, turned out to be very therapeutic for me, because I myself struggle with this same disease and really love these two forbidden areas.
