Grey Anemones, 2021
100% recycled polyester padding, Wool, Acrylic, Polyester and polyamide yarns 48X48X28cm
"Grey Anemone" an artistic representation of natural marine elements. These elements of the sea and land (corals, anemones, starfish, shells) are seen through a magnifying glass and reinterpreted through textile sewing techniques - knit and crochet. Although these techniques are very traditional, the way they are applied results in an initial surprise where there is a confrontation between the tradition present in the techniques and the innovation of form, aesthetics, textures and color - and in this clash, the pieces build a dialogue with those who see, touch and feel them.
