About the Item

Biagga (Sea Wind), painted viscose and linen, 67" x 71", 2010. Contemporary Abstract Tapestry Painting, Wall Sculpture. Ulla-Maija Vikman (b. 1943, Oulu, Finland) is a fiber artist whose work merges techniques of both weaving and painting. Artist Statement: "Threads stretched like a warp form a surface on which I paint like a painter on a canvas. I repaint and wash two or three times to get tones I want. Viscose is rewarding to dye and it hangs beautifully. It is shiny and reflects light, ideal for depth and vividness of color. My inspiration is the material itself. The vertical threads have their own natural rhythm complemented by the horizontal patterns. Like a weave, the pieces are based on vertical and horizontal elements. Though the working field is free to be painted, I mostly stick to horizontal stripes. It could be the influence of the weaving tradition, or it could be caused by my need for harmony - or maybe it is a part of my “language”. I always hang my work at some distance from the wall so that gives the impression of being in free fall, floating in the air. The slightest breeze or draft makes the threads move, affecting both the light and the form of the work. This kinetic effect brings the piece to life within its environment."

Air tapestry
Located in Edinburgh, GB
I wove a tapestry as I returned home to the front-line city of Kharkov, which is constantly under fire. At home, I felt that I wanted to implement the ideas that I had come up with earlier, I wanted to create something new, and the sounds of sirens and explosions did not bother me anymore. Created with the sound of sirens and explosions. Combining bright particles of yarn and thread, I imprint my positive attitude, I live a full life, I breathe. This work is one of the sari of my knitted tapestries, a modern interpretation of the carpet tapestries that used to be hung on the wall, let my bright tapestries...
