Studies on Transformation, 2019 - 2023

I observe and parallelize
I observe the stages
at the rhythms defined by nature
I see the correlations between
the course of a flower's progression
with that of a human being
I seek, simultaneously, orientation.
I have lost my compass
The change begins with death
The result is transformation
Sometimes of the object of study itself,
sometimes of its surroundings
I notice the distinctiveness of each stage
The stages are three
The process is cyclical
It begins and it ends again and again
at the rhythms defined by nature

"Vingt-deux et pas mille“ (2021) Jacquardweave and metal eyelets, 145 x 350 cm

Constanza Camila Kramer Garfias developed „Vingt- Deux et pas mille“ in collaboration with the famous silk weaving mill Tessitura Taborelli in Como/Italy. The jacquard weave artwork takes up the history of

the Burgundian Millefleur and transfers it to the pre- sent day. Unlike the „Thousand Flowers“ tapestries, „Vingt-Deux et pas mille“ shows only one type of flo- wer: the tulip. In the Middle Ages, people were aware of the significance of many flowers and plants, and most people knew the secret language of flowers. No- wadays, this knowledge from the Middle Ages is lost, and only fragments of some meanings have survived into our time. This situation crystallized the decision to develop a Millefleur only with tulips, a well-known flower in western civilizations.

Theodora Tsirakoglou draws her inspiration from industrial components and everyday objects. In her sculptures she emphasizes form and balance to create works reminiscent of children's toys or mechanical parts.

After years he designs and incorporates into her work limited edition utilitarian porcelain works inspired by imprints of elements on surfaces such as those created by the passage of time on a stone, a fossil suddenly discovered, the soil that copied a moment of natural or human intervention, the tree trunk carved by a bird or even the crease in a cloth or paper.

Using the fine material of porcelain and maintaining the characteristic geometric form that she loves so much, Theodora captures these stories in her works like a storyteller. Many times, she uses gold glaze to emphasize details that she wants to highlight, while still giving a sense of luxury and uniqueness.
