Bowie Collector

On my last trip to London I have been lucky to accidentally find out about this special exhibiton:

David Bowie has been a keen and enthusiastic lover of modern art. Sotheby´s had some of his personal pieces on display – and I would like to share these pictures I made with you.

What I found very intriguing about exploring the exhibition was this quote of Bowie :

Art was the only thing I ever wanted to possess.

They say, he was diving very deep into it. So Bowie only bought the work of artists with whom he felt a personal connection, and which moved and inspired him.

You will understand then, that I´m not interested in how much money the auction at Sotheby´s finally made – because, at the end of the day, that just doesnt matter:)

The art of Meredith Woolnough is showing the beauty of nature in knotted embroidery threads. Her creations look like coming directly from a coral reef out of the ocean. The intricate embroideries are then carefully pinned in shadowboxes, just like preserved specimens.

I am so fascinated by those amazing patterns and was wondering, how is it possible to create such delicate embroidery?  And I found the tricky answer: the secret behind her works is the fabric, because it is water soluble! It was originally invented by the medical industry and is now available in sewing shops. It works as the basic stabilizer on which Meredith can sew her beautiful designs. When the embroidery is finished, she just washes the fabric away.

Nevertheless, the work of Meredith Woolnough, who lives in Australia is extremely intriguing. You can find out more about her art at MeredithWoolnough.com or watch this interesting video, where she explains her working process:

Gallery Baeckerstrasse

 

CUBELIN at the Chrismas Charity of the Gallery Baeckerstrasse in Berlin Schöneberg. This event was organized by owner Alexander Urban and his lovely wife Marie Le Febvre. Lots of friends and costumers came to buy tickets for the tombola and more. More than hundreds guests made this event a big success. Besides the Cubelins I presented a collection of my new crocheted sculpture bags. Having sold the Cubelin „Flowers“ 10 % of the price is donated to the help of the Berlin refugees. Finally in total 1500 Euros were raised to support the Malteser egagement for refugees.
