"The
beginning of my work with fabric takes it all back to folk art. I still
feel very sentimental about that form of art. Thanks to internet I was
able to find places where folk art lives to this day. This e-venture has
let me discover such creations as Panamanian mola and Chilean
apilleras. I was so amazed and now I am lucky to possess one of each. My
dream was for those two to become a beginning of a bigger collection
but I never really managed to do anything about this dream. Although I
have traced down interesting pieces in China and Mexico but there was no
way for me to purchase them. And then a miracle happened. My dear
friend Małgorzata Sieczkowska has found two amazing pieces on a flea
market – this Chinese silk quilt:
- drugą kolumbijską :
- and this Columbian art work:
Nie muszę dodawać, że obie mi sprezentowała. Mam nadzieję, że moja kolekcja będzie się rozrastać i zdobędę w końcu makatkę meksykańską.
I bet you already know that I have received both of them as a gift. I just hope to enlarge my collection and that finally I will be able to get hold of my dream – Mexican patchwork."
