Sleeves

Tel Aviv Museum of Art (solo exhibition)
Curator: Meira Yagid-Haimovici
2013

Solo exhibition held at the Tel Aviv Museum as part of awarding “The Andy”  Prize for 2013. The works emerged from ongoing research into stretching the limits of clothing as a functional object, philosophical concept, and aesthetic space. All works used second-hand clothing as raw material. The process began with selecting, photographing, and deconstructing each piece, unraveling the stitching and fabric into warp and weft threads. This deconstruction subverted the "proper order," shifting focus to overlooked aspects of the clothing and fabric. The reconstruction involved re-weaving the unraveled yarns, in some cases into a digitally printed warp, or felting them into a wool fiber surface. Both methods created a disrupted, illusionistic, and multi-layered image that felt both familiar and strange.
