Where the Rakers Sleep 2

Two Miniatures from the Time of Pandemic. In time of the current pandemic, restriction of our usual social contacts and face-to-face communication, most of us are experiencing loneliness. It can touch us with various levels of intensity… From my own experience: with impoverished communication, quite often deprived of the emotions expressed by body language, touch, facial expressions, our message is often partial or distorted. This causes our feeling of loneliness to become even more hollow. Signal symbolises a call which a human generates to reach other(s). For me such a signal is of radial character, and can be received: heard or felt, by these to which it is directed and those who are more accidental recipients. This piece is an attempt to express an abstract phenomenon as a physical representation. Techniques: traditional weaving and artist’s experimental techniques. Materials: linen twine, linen/paper/metallic threads. Dimensions: 10 x 10 cm
