twenty five years

rooftops

about a month ago I had the privilege of moving into a home full of wonderful people.  I do not think I have ever experienced such fullness.  I feel full of joy and unexpected laughter.  I feel full of spontaneity. I feel full of the kindness and compassion showed to me by loved ones.  I am experiencing fullness in conversation. and I am full from this wholesome meal shared with some friends on the rooftop.

 A few days ago, a friend of mine introduced me to Elisa Strozyk, an innovative textile artist from Berlin that seeks to convey a new tactile experience through the constructed exploration of "Wooden Textiles."  She is creative. and She is inspiring. 

"Wooden Textiles" is a material that is half wood-half textile, between hard and soft, challenging what can be expected from a material or category. It looks and smells familiar but feels strange, as it is able to move and form in unexpected ways. The processes to transform wood into a flexible wooden surface is its deconstruction into pieces, which are then attached to a textile base. Depending on the geometry and size of the tiles each design shows a different behavior regarding flexibility and mobility. There are various possible applications, for example as floorings, curtains, drapes, plaids, upholstery or parts of furniture. - Elisa Strozyk
