Prof. Laima Orzekauskiene is definitely a difficult name – but really worth remembering it! She is from Lithuania and I met her at the textile art exhibition in Berlin 2014. Her work was called: “Women in their Fifties” and I made some pictures as you can see down below. I adore her unique weaving technique with a variety of materials including gold thread and even human hair.
Right now I´m busy with preparing my CUBELIN studio – meanwhile I have about 300 gobelins from all over the world – and where to store them? Quite a problem, because they all have different sizes and need lots of space. By chance I passed a shoppingwindow nearby in Berlin, Emserstraße and found this extraordinary shelf by http://www.followtheform.de
It´s designed by lovely Valenka, she does some more amazing pieces – all made from sustainable wood, so functional, but appearing as a sculpture. I WANT!! And will save my money for this!
I think it´s so important to surround yourself with beautiful and unique things of good quality! It makes such a difference – you feel more worthy and every time you look at it, you get this warm loving feeling.
I have a few of those around me, which I would like to share with you from time to time.
Berlin based artist Karsten Fuge does really awesome stuff – insects made of ? spoons ? beltbuckles ? Yes, you must have a closer look at it. Very fascinating! Here is a picture of his artwork which I enjoy looking at it every time I walk through my kitchen.
And as I just found out, he also does extraordinary paintings creating his own Kafkaesque universe that´s inhabited by strange beings and animals.
