About the Item

'Sunbirds and Tropical Flowers 1.0' is a hand-tufted tapestry by contemporary fiber artist Tjitske Storm. The tapestry is digitally designed by Tjitske and handmade by artisans in India with the utmost care. New Zealand Wool of the highest quality is used to create the durable and soft results, and yarns are colored with natural chemical-free ingredients. Some sparks are added through implementing metal chains within the hanging threads. The work is part of the series 'The Art of Living Together', inspired by the natural phenomenon of symbiosis* within evolution, which is a fascinating intermingling between different species in their development. The interaction amidst these seemingly opposite forces is emphasized through the correlation of the geometric and the organic, the abstract and the detailed, the digital and the tactile, the East and the West, the North and the South, and the old and the new. When the fragile reciprocity is precisely balanced, these dissimilar worlds smoothly collide, merge and enforce each other. *Symbiosis Most tropical flowers are uniquely beautiful with vibrant colours and long tubular calyx full of sugary nectar. However, they are also extremely vulnerable. Sunbirds feed on all the insects that visit these plants, and this helps in protecting the fragile flowers from being eaten or damaged by parasites. In return, the flowers have customized and adjusted their shape and size for the beaks of local sunbirds, to be exclusively available for them: mutualistic symbiosis. About the artist "My expressive style reflects a dynamic synergy of opposite worlds, visible through the combination of precisely aligned geometry and fluid organic shapes, detailed photographic assemblages and abstract illustrations, and the implementation of digital techniques and ancient fiber crafts. Through exploring, interchanging and harmonizing contradictions and perspectives, both conceptually and visually, I aim to underline the fragile equilibrium between the unity and the diversity of life."
