About the Item

Ann Vollum’s artistic practice is deeply rich and evocative, blending elements of personal history, cultural influences, and a commitment to sustainability. The use of repurposed materials not only adds layers of meaning to her work but also aligns with a growing awareness of environmental concerns in contemporary art. The meditative and slow nature of Vollum’s process likely imbues her pieces with a sense of depth and introspection, inviting viewers to slow down and engage with the intricate details and narratives woven into each stitch. The incorporation of ambiguous and dark narratives adds an element of mystery and invites viewers to explore their own emotions and interpretations. Vollum’s childhood experiences in Africa, as well as her travels in Pakistan and India, provide a rich tapestry of cultural influences that manifest in her iconography and use of pattern. This fusion of diverse cultural elements not only reflects her personal journey but also serves as a bridge for viewers to connect with different parts of the world and their own experiences. By aiming to capture the imagination of the viewers and inviting them to bring their own narratives to the work, Vollum creates a dynamic exchange between artist and audience. Each piece becomes a vessel for storytelling and reflection, fostering a deeper connection and dialogue between creator and observer. Overall, her artistic practice is a testament to the power of creativity to transcend boundaries and evoke emotion, inviting viewers on a journey of exploration and self-discovery.

Cru si fiction Barbara d'Antuono 21st Century Contemporary outsider textile art
Located in Paris, FR
Embroidered textile painting Unique work Penelope or Parque of modern times, Barbara d’Antuono sews by hand like others recite mantras and decides nothing in advance.
