Stitched dreams and nightmares rendered in immense embroideries by Hungarian born Canadian Anna Torma.
My art practice is fibre based. Textile is a very versatile medium; good platform for cultural and artistic communication, can be a reference for ancient and modern history, handmade or industrial, individual artistic manifestation or a group effort. When I work in my studio, in the first phase I spend time with the concept which can be a new series, preparing solo exhibition or making an installation piece for specific site. Drawings, works on paper, notes and photographs are my tools to make a design to an upcoming project. Large scale hand embroidery, what I use often; always happen in my studio, I have long projects which sometimes take 6-8 months to finish. Anna Torma
