Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a textured, beige fabric with a distinct pattern reminiscent of animal fur or scales. The composition is centered around two abstract animal forms, appearing to be squirrels or similar small rodents, rendered in a shaggy, textural style. The use of natural materials and the tactile quality of the piece suggest an emphasis on the sensory experience. The overall style and techniques employed convey a sense of organic, earthy exploration, perhaps reflecting the artist's intention to capture the essence of the natural world through textile-based abstraction. ...

Artist
Birke Gorm
B.1986, German

“The common woman is as common as a thunderstorm”, says the woven writing of Birke Gorm’s hanging fabrics made of jute. Gorm works with archaic materials of metal, terracotta, jute or wood, incorporating a range of techniques, such as woodcarving, stitching, writing, and flexing. The artist’s practice explores womanhood and solidarity, expressed in powerful and assuring terms. Her sculptural works depict human-shaped figures made out of found and collected over time terracotta bricks and peebles, with pots and jugs in the place of heads and faces. On their stomachs are fabrics and cushions which carry keychains, nails, bolts, champagne corks, and other accidental objects. Pregnancy is depicted as not a weakening, bed-bounding female destiny, but a moving, fierce power. The common woman can be any woman, and any woman is an empowered force fueling collective solidarity. ...
