WOVEN WATERS

"Realize that everything connects to everything else."
Leonardo da Vinci

In contrast to large parts of the world, in Europe there is still a large amount of clean water. But the water resources worldwide are endangered, and the virtual water consumption of people in the Global North contributes to drought and desertification in the Global South.

With the work "Woven Waters" I raise the awareness of the global connections of the water cycle and as well I express my gratitude for the abundance of water of the region in which I grew up. The materials I used are symbolizing a water sanctuary: Indigo-dyed wool with its blue color represents clean water and willow sticks collected in riparian forests in Austria symbolize the natural environment of waters.

Medium: wool, willow sticks
Technique: indigo dyeing, crochet, weaving
