Taimedega trükitud tekstiiliteoste näitus Lahemaal
Exhibition of Plant-Printed Textile Works in Lahemaa
Lahemaal asuvas Muinastaide Kojas on sel suvel näitus, kus saab näha taimedega trükitud tekstiiliteoseid.
This summer, the Ancient Art House in Lahemaa is hosting an exhibition where you can see textile works printed with plants.
The title of the summer exhibition at the Ancient Art House is "Growth Space". The exhibition features textile works printed with plants by Ülle Saatmäe. Ülle Saatmäe says that she created these in collaboration with nature.
The Ancient Art House has a permanent exhibition about rock paintings. The summer exhibition seeks themes that complement the permanent exhibition. This summer, Ülle Saatmäe's plant-printed textile works were chosen.
Väino Poikalainen is the chairman of the Ancient Art Society. He says that rock paintings are like a part of nature. Ülle Saatmäe's textile works are also close to nature.
Ülle Saatmäe says that she drew inspiration from rock paintings. She started using linens and natural fabrics. What makes plant printing exciting is the final result. For example, on one work, she found a face.
Ülle Saatmäe says that plant printing is like an alchemical activity. Plants provide colors and pigments. She doesn't add anything or draw by hand. She has been doing this for seven years and now knows how to do it better.
The exhibition is open until the end of summer. In addition to the textile works, you can also see a photo exhibition about the creation of the works.
