culturenlifestyle: Embroidered Landscapes and Plants Overflow Through the Frames by Ana Teresa BarbozaPeruvian artist Ana Teresa Barboza has mastered the art of embroidery and crocheting through the meticulous manual work in the composition of unconventional representation of landscape sceneries.Beautifully emulating the texture of nature, Barboza’s sculptures burst through the frame into abstract forms. What seems to begin as a conventional piece of embroidery art ends in an explosion of color, movement, and at times gravity-defying suspensions of messy threads.Emotive and passionate, Baboza links the mechanics and psyche of the human body, particularly, of the fingertips and our need to be connected to nature.She composes a wide range of landscapes, which depict the violent and unpredictable movement of the water, the uncontrollable growth of life seen in greenery, and the rocky terrain of the mountains. She seamlessly navigates through different color strands, while reconstructing the image of nature we have embedded into our mind. She demands us to view nature and its architecture from a different perspective. Baboza’s work blurs the line between contemporary sculpture and tapestry-making. -- source link
