I started working with old sewing patterns in 2015. I have been thinking about the patterns we create in our lives and how they are only products of our beliefs. Quantum physics, epigenetics, brain studies and other developments in science show us how mistaken can be a life based on old/negative patterns. How to break these patterns and keep the positive ones?

GAC - Group Art Counseling Where to show– September 19, 2017 – 6-8 pm – Snow Camp
I am going to talk about and answer questions about places to show your art. I'll share my experience/information on galleries, art centers, alternative venues mainly in the Triangle area. Beyond what you can find on websites.
Where to start showing? Is it worthy to wait 2 years to have a show? Do I need to produce my marketing material? Zero commission galleries are really 0% commission? What about writing proposals?
Fee: donation based. Suggested donation $10

Monoprints on fabric and reclaimed clothes/sheets having clothes as matrices. Videos and video shooting/interviews (please see schedule below):
I have been collecting clothes from friends, family and my previous exhibitions visitors. These clothes are the matrices for my monoprints on fabric. I also record interviews with the donors where they talk about the clothes they donated. Most of the clothes have a story, they were worn for a long time, the person who owned the clothes had an emotional attachment to it, they only used them in special occasions, etc. What I noticed is that those clothes have one thing in common: they are stories of relationships. A material reminder of an interaction with a living person, with someone they missed or a particular situation in their lives. The interface.
I'll be collecting clothes and recording interviews at the VAE on:

I have been collecting clothes from friends, family and my previous exhibitions visitors. Most of the clothes have a story, they were worn for a long time, the person who owned the clothes had an emotional attachment to it, they only used them in special occasions, etc.
I believe tthat what I transfer to the substrate (a piece of fabric, a reclaimed sheet) is not only the material image but also part of the memory/energy of the clothes and their owners/users.
Lately I have also been recording videos with the clothes donors. They talk about the history/stories of the clothes and their own.
During the exhibition I collected clothes and recorded videos on Aug 2, 4, 9, 10, 12.
