Balkan Fibre Art ’08 – gallery VII
I’m presenting you Silja Puranen‘s ‘Tatoos’, produced at the Balkan Fiber Art workshop. The idea of her artwork was the contrast of reality and dream, of our own everyday skin and the imagined one, the skin of celebrities seen on TV and in magazines. She used secondhand clothes as the metaphor of unglamorous life and then applied parts of human body tattooed with desired pattern that symbolizes the splendor of star’s life.

Thanks a lot Ivana for covering the BFA… It’s interesting to see that you started with Silja Puranen as your first blog post, and now you ended the coverage for 2008 with her work…
Not to mention that she was rewarded with Nordic Award in Textiles this year… amazing work…
Rock on your workshop in Belgrade, can’t wait to read new posts…
Best…
