Ivana Stamenkovits

Ivana Stamenkovits

When we came across the crochet work of Ivana, we were blown away. The Coca Cola and Red Bull cans are so well crafted, when you stand on a distance, no way you would guess they are made of cotton yarn. With the shades and dents all so realistic, it invites you to come closer. Hours and hours of work are put into these amazing art pieces, meticulously crafting the yarn together into the strong image of a consumer's world, yet so soft and dreamy that it becomes an icon itself.

The large pencils bring a smile to your face. Everyone knows them, everyone has used them. Now, enlarged and in the crochet medium they become almost cuddly. The pencils tell a story of times gone by, a time where drawing and colouring were part of daily life.

Artist's statement

On the first birthday since my mother passed away I picked up the activity that she once taught me as a child; crochet. What at first seemed like a fun way to distract myself from the trauma, became a colorful way to explore this trauma deeper.

In my series “Dinged Up”, I play with the fact that everyone has a story. Everyone is born the same, but it is our own lived experiences that dinged us up, that makes us the unique individuals that we all are.
