Zenn

A synergy between traditional and modern embroidery techniques brings forward a colourful breathtaking masterpiece.

The artwork glows in its own inner light, as if it were alive — a subtle choice of thread colours and techniques made a perfect emphasis on the symmetry within the randomness. A century old embroidery technique of chain stitch lays the groundwork, while modern interweaving Ercigoj stitch technique brings in life, and the selection of especially vivid threads accentuates details which allow the artwork to truly shine.

About motif

Sicoe’s Zenn is a vision of our state of being. A meditation. We humans are creatures with feet firmly on the ground and heads turned towards the universe. We all move around the velvety secret — the core that binds and fulfils us. Is it a mere inhale-and-exhale, a thought, nothing? Pass the nature and animals, we flee as ghosts, nothing touches us. Moments of coexistence with nature and animals, of breathing the same air with them, moments of tranquillity and simple existence are rare. The embroidery is an infinite moment of coexistence; standing in front of it, means we are there — at the finish line. Calm and alive we gaze into radiating colours, and we simply breathe and are happy. Bon voyage, Zenn.
