These lines are a symbol tracing the history of a life, not only on Earth but before and after. They are present in all of my current work, they hold the history and lived experience of an existence. They can cross paths and leave traces in each other, both in the physical, Earthly world and beyond it. A finished tufted tapestry has a bodily aspect of heaviness that is built up by thousands of strands of yarn, as cells make the body. My work stems from experiences and observations of grief. Without explicitly describing these realities, I can personally honour them through my work. I believe my work entails a last embrace for those people. Known and unknown. Past, present and future. Through my work I reject the notion of the reality after death being a void of nothing. A way for me to forcefully tear an opening into this space of continuous existence.&nbsp; https://elinaflyrin.com/info Fri, 20 Mar 2020 22:43:37 +0000 Elina Flyrin https://elinaflyrin.com/info Elina
