GOOD FRIENDS + ONE GREAT ARTIST ... THE HOLLY STEWART ... I HAD THE PLEASURE TO MEET IN PERSON!
... after
several days on the road i had a wonderful reason to look
forward to arriving in KANSAS CITY, to finally meet my colour-loving
artist & soul sister THE HOLLY STEWART, who is an amazing textile designer
and print wizardess who i had discovered about 2 years before and
always wanted to meet in person.
and here we are ...
WE clicked immediately and had a very interesting meeting and discussion about our art work. i met her in her studio, close to the university and had the pleasure to see some of her latest work, which i share with you here.
these
3-dimensional landscapes and nearly futuristic architectural models
become alive by wind and light, which moves the tiny
pieces and makes them reflect the light or illuminates other pieces -
captivating and bewitching! one has to see them in person! just
amazing!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THIS is her latest work - a huge wall piece - 8 feet x 10 feet
custom
designed for a obviously wonderful patron who is a colour lover herself
and admirer of holly's art work, which is not really surprising to me!
THERE IS A KIND OF DANGER AROUND HER ART WORK ;) TO BECOME ADDICTED!
this photograph give you a better idea about the size!
speaking
as an architect and designer myself, the wide range of adaptability in space, material and design of her work is a very appealing to me.
i can imagine countless
possibilities to install similar pieces of holly's art work.
i see a huge piece of art work - similar to this - hanging free in the
middle of a stairway or high foyer - hanged from a horizontally
installed metal tubing housing LEDs [producing no heat!], which is cut
open toward the down hanging stripes of hand-printed and hand-painted
stripes of silk, and this way illuminating the art work from above. one
also could combine the piece with wind and music. is that an idea?
another alternative would be 3 very long pieces hanging separately in different heights and would be interchangeable or hanged as single pieces in different places of a house if one moves, and would not be able to have them hang together.
i always loved changeability, not only in architecture. what was a big theme during my educational time and has influenced my whole thinking when it comes to design and art work. that is how i work myself in my interactive jewellery design.
IN MY VISION HOLLY STEWART'S GRANDIOSE ART WORK WILL ENCHANT SPACES FROM THEATER FOYERS AND OFFICE BUILDINGS IN LONDON, PARIS NEW YORK, AND MILAN, AS WELL AS MUSEUMS IN LISBON AND DUBAI.
AS SHE TOLD ME, SHE ALSO CREATES ART PIECES FOR PRIVATE COLLECTORS.
CONTACT: THE HOLLY STEWART
A GREAT ARTIST AND A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING!
holly, i wish u lots of creative energy and many wonderful patrons for 2013!
hugs
FROM ME AND PHELIX KNOPPH ;)
END OF PART 3!
... I/WE ALWAYS WILL KEEP YOU IN MY/OUR HEART, AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL MOMENTS AND MEMORIES!
LOVE FROM KRIS+JAN+PHELIX KNOPPH
