Elisa Strozyk
Usually we identify wood as being a solid, German artist Strozyk has been able to challenge our perception of this. By incorporating textiles she has been able to create a flexible material. Through a combination of the two materials a hybrid is formed, depending on how it is placed, the matter has a 2D or 3D appearance. Leftover wooden veneers are cut into geometrical tiles and then attached onto a fabric base, the flexibility of the material depends on the shape of the tile and the spacing in-between them. An isosceles triangle offers the most flexibility, where as uneven shapes create more unexpected forms. Strozyk says that 'It's crucial to aim for closer relationship between subject and object.'
