Artist Statement
Representation of an arid space. Natural colors, ocher and marked nuances, Olivia Babel creates a unique space, made of different levels, masses and volumes. An isolated, natural and atypical space is presented.
Cartography, textiles, embroidery... Olivia Babel develops a universe imbued with unexpected associations, so as to create impactful, unique works that catch the eye.
The work is embroidered entirely by hand with lockstitch techniques, on cotton fabrics and manually felted wool. We have the association of fabrics, felt and pencil drawings, cotton threads and shiny threads under plexiglass.
Unique, rare and exclusive piece.
About 70 hours of work.
