netamir

neta i do not know where to start to introduce Netamir's work. She is a fiber artist from Israel working with lot's of techniques and materials. she makes her dolls from socks and other recycled fabrics. she creates 3d worlds and objects with textiles i so fell in love with the geraniums here are some of her words about what she does.... My work combines the disciplines of traditional textile crafts with the visual arts. After graduating from fashion design studies and following several years of work in commercial companies I decided, to devote myself to a more creative and artistic work-path. At first I created crochet and cloth dolls. The creation of dolls then extended itself to installations where these dolls were part of a space that I formed. My installations are a grouping of the dolls, textile objects as well as photography. My interest has extended beyond the creative aspects of handicraft to an intricate language and concentration on cultural and social background of the figure and how these manifest themselves visually in a 3D object. As time goes by my occupation with dolls has spread to different directions. People who saw my dolls “envied” the unique style I fashioned for my characters and requested I create these in full scale for them. This is how I started my accessory collection. This growing involvement with enlarging objects for human has brought me to a new creative mode, where I form 3D objects that resemble every-day items, and take on a new role in my installation.
