NATURAL IMPRESSIONS
The 64 artists from 22 different nationalities selected for this exhibition not only enrich our consensus on artistic expression and cultural perspective but also expand our understanding of nature and its representation in the arts. This reflective approach challenges established conventions, allowing for diverse interpretations and representations of the world. It awakens human consciousness to the source of inspiration that the capacity to imagine represents, encouraging the audience to reflect on their relationship with the world and recognize the importance of art as a profound connection with the intrinsic essence of humanity.

When Kristine sits down in front of
her sewing machine, her aim is to let
go of everything she knows, to be in
the moment without being attached to
outcomes or expectations, and to bring
the threads to life. She is interested
in the intuitive process, allowing the
threads to guide her. There is a sense
of freedom, excitement, and curiosity
that comes from letting go. Each new
artwork is a journey, an enigma that
invites her to solve it through the
use of color, which lies at the center
of everything she does, as well as
through line, texture, and shape.
While her work is purely abstract,
occasionally recognizable shapes
unintentionally emerge. The speed
of the sewing machine enables the
stitches to dance across the fabric,
leaving traces and building layers,
sometimes until the needle can no
longer pierce the fabric. There is
no going back to correct mistakes,
only moving forward and embracing
them as part of the process. This is
in contrast to the slow-paced, almost
meditative, and introspective act of
hand stitching. Kristine finds most of
her inspiration in nature.
