The story of an aspirant
A waiting woman prolonged expectations delayed wishes nurtured hopes infidelity cracks broken hearts plastered again and again with love stripes unslaked fire never ending longing resurrecting Phoenix the story of a woman....
The verses above belong to my 2010 final school project as an art and handicrafts student at Vraa Hojskole.
These verses associated with the pictures you see (all of them are cyanotype photos , printed in silk fabric.
On the last picture you might see the final state of the project.
All the pics were put in between 2 pieces of glass cut in a raw way.Cooper strings and stripes were also added.
The Juda`s Money flower as well. (Lunaria annua latin name).
When i first started to work on this project; i thought of Penelope and her love story.
Many of us have experienced stories like this..
Stories of aspiration and waiting...Unfinished waiting...For love...
I wanted to reflect these stories of woman in love, of waiting women in a single piece where i would combine photography and other arts as well.
The 2 layers of glass with the pics, copper wires and ornaments and dried flowers within, were put over a light source. My reason for doing this was because i wanted to show everything in a transparent way , just to get closer to the texture of the work and have a more realistic and genuine approach to the characters as well. The copper strings, photos, Juda`s money flowers (used as symbol of infidelity), all of them were put in a random and asymmetrical way.
I decided to make the project look unfinished , just like the carpet Penelope used to hand-knit.
FOR THE STORY OF A WOMAN IN LOVE AND WHAT SHE CAN DO FOR IT IS ALWAYS AN UNFINISHED STORY...
