TREES (2015)

After diatoms, this is the second Draz collection inspired by biology. It focuses on trees, which caught our attention before the disastrous sleet hit the Slovenian forests on and around December 19th 2013. High humidity during the day, no precipitation and below zero temperatures during the night brought romantic silvery white winter idyll in the mornings. The trees, emotions, contentment with winter placid silence was palpable through the lens of the camera. No one could have known, that this was the calm before the storm. Before, during and after the event we searched for aesthetics suitable for knitting techniques, but not reminiscent of the trees. We searched for apparitions. And we found them, apparitions made of knitted braids, mighty locks of Klimt, redheads, Jackson Pollock's rampage, fireworks of birch branches, torn navy uniforms, tiny fairy creatures, a porcupine, a dragon.

DREVESA (2015)

Draz po biološki temi Diatomej v prejšnji kolekciji ostaja pri biologiji. Toktratna tema so drevesa. Drevesa so našo pozornost vzbudila pred nesrečo in sicer v zanimivem meteorološkem pojavu okrog 19.12.2013 ko so se v razmerah z veliko vlage čez dan, brez padavin in temperaturami pod ničlo ponoči in zjutraj odela v romantično srebrno belo zimsko idilo. Skozi fotografski objektiv si lahko začutil njihova čustva, zadovoljni zimski spokojni mir. Kdo bi si lahko mislil da je bilo to zatišje pred nevihto. Skozi obdobje pred, med in po nevihti smo v drevesih iskali estetiko prikladno za pletene tehnike in teksture ki ne spominjajo na drevesa. Iskali smo prikazni. Našli smo prikazni abstraktnih pletenih kit, mogočni kodri Klimtovih rdečelask, divjanje jacksona pollocka, ognjemeti brezinih vej, raztrgane mornarske uniforme, drobcena pravljična bitja, ježevca, zmaja,
