Zulfiya Spowart
Grey wolf , 2024
Cotton (natural dye, hand stitched), wood (wood paint, wood wax, hand wood carving) Unique artwork Spowart’s large-scale blankets link us with childhood, corporeality and folklore. The artist transforms self-portraits and photographs of her children using angles of the photos at eye level, to represent the artist’s view of herself from the side. They serve as the main reference for her textile objects, alongside folklore motifs from different cultures. The search for textiles becomes a challenge as Spowart uses textiles from Uzbekistan, her homeland. Sewing becomes the artistic meditative process and evolves around labour-intensive, contemplative practices to show the tactile nature and unbreakable bond between a mother and her children.115 x 95 x 3 cm
