Irina Kolesnikova

"I like old, black-and-white photos very much and I play with images from these pictures, using silhouettes, details of dress, signs of a profession. I make collage and then replicate collage in woven technique. You cannot recognize individuals in the pieces in the series Automobilists and Photoatelier because it is not important for me. I like a paradoxical combination of contemporary art language and ancient handweaving technique." - Irina Kolesnikova
