Zoya Lendenskaya-Bolshakova: Warm Moon
Modern-day fibre (or textile) art has been formulating a new visual language for many decades, starting back in the 1960s.
Grounded in the cultural tradition and technological breakthroughs of the previous centuries, nowadays textile art has firmly established itself as part of the larger contemporary art realm.
Zoya Lendenskaya-Bolshakova describes her medium as ‘tiny bits of materiality woven into the fabric of life.’ Fibres are front and central in her artworks, be it the rough hand-felted pieces or delicately structured interlacing threads, coming together to form a new reality of a Moonlit Forest.
The wool at the heart of all pieces is perceived as the ultimate source material. Here, textile installations enable the emergence of a new layer of reality.
Is it a utopia or a kind of reverse pastoral?
Warm Moon is a metaphorical title encapsulating multiple themes. It is an installation game posing questions like ‘Is there life on other planets?’ or ‘What is on the far side of the Moon?’ or simply reminding us of the fragility of all being, natural balance, and limits of experience.
