Teacher Profile
Eszter Bornemisza is a fibre artist living in Budapest, Hungary, working with recycled paper, textiles and other found soft materials.
The basic process of creation is machine stitching, with additional elements of printing dyeing and painting. After having made art quilts for more than ten years, her interest has turned to creating transparent wall-hangings, objects and installations using ripped, overprinted newspaper. As an urban citizen the theme of Eszter’s work is revolving around ideas that reflect our relations to urban life. With the multi-layered surfaces of real and imaginary maps Eszter is striving to grasp moments of finding our place both physically and mentally. As experimentation and research has been primary tools for developing ideas, labyrinth like maps with many dead-end streets has been a visual metaphor of Eszter’s journey to find her own identity. At the same time her work strives to address issues related to past and present cultures of the place: the layers of existence. Imprints of ages in the earth and in our minds, signs and traces and their meanings for us, their personal and social narratives are in the focus of Eszter’s interest.
