A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Author:\u00a0Zala Hrastar<\/strong><\/p>\n

”A walk down memory lane” is a story about dreams, longing, life and transience.<\/em><\/strong>
\nMy focal inspiration evoked in slovenian city Kranj. Amazed by citys’ rich textile<\/em><\/strong>
\nhistory; colourful textile sample books and the city’s family Pirc; the way they worked<\/em><\/strong>
\ntogether and with their surroundings.<\/em><\/strong>
\nI took a look around my surroundings. Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am<\/em><\/strong>
\nI going?<\/em><\/strong>
\nI found myself around well too known walls, saturated by familiar sounds and words<\/em><\/strong>
\nof our days, colours and textures of our paths. I was home.<\/em><\/strong>
\n”A walk down memory lane” is an expression of gratitude for all that was and for all<\/em><\/strong>
\nthat is ahead.<\/em><\/strong>
\nIt’s a family; perfect in all of the imperfections.<\/em><\/strong>
\nTextiles represent portraits and their extracts \u2013 characters.<\/em><\/strong>
\nPatchworks of emotion, because we grow and evolve everyday. I am not the way I<\/em><\/strong>
\nwas yesterday, and tomorrow will reflect today. I can be fragile, I can be sound. I<\/em><\/strong>
\nknow I am.<\/em><\/strong>
\nUsing waste textiles, knitwear cutoffs, vintage lace curtains, soft cotton fabric from<\/em><\/strong>
\nlast century and waste that is made when knitting socks I made new structures,<\/em><\/strong>
\ntextures and textiles. Using old photographs I made a pattern and digitally printed it<\/em><\/strong>
\non a soft cotton canvas.<\/em><\/strong>
\nThese new textiles I brought up into a third form; body.<\/em><\/strong>
\n4 silhouettes were created, each carrying it’s own story. These stories I wrote down<\/em><\/strong>
\ninto four poems and put to music with help of my brother Alja\u017e and musical friend<\/em><\/strong>
\nNejc.<\/em><\/strong>
\nYou can listen to EP titteled ”Sprehod med spomini”<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong>
\nI also created a digital collage book that I later printed out on vintage textile, which<\/em><\/strong>
\nconnects all emotions and feelings with imagery.<\/em><\/strong>
\nThis project was created as my 1st year MA studies under mentorship of Jenko<\/em><\/strong>
\nMarija, at Faculty of Natural Science and Engineering in year 2020\/2021, Ljubljana<\/em><\/strong>
\nand was presented for public as part of Textile art biennial BIEN 2021 in Layer house<\/em><\/strong>
\nin Kranj. (26.5.2021 \u2013 14.8.2021)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
