Embroidery performance
Interwoven II (2024), evokes Marta Ferracin daily performance as continuation of Within a 3.5 x 2 x 1.6 Metre Field and Interwoven I artworks.
For Interwoven II, Ferracin, embroiders and records the subtle changes of the biocanvas displayed in the Incinerator courtyard during the entire Convergences exhibition.
Research conducted on-site has also informed her journaling and story-writing about her encounters and observations with the biocanvas.
This evolving work-in-progress and public performance has allowed the artist to generate her sentient response to the biocanvas microhabitat as part of the visual and embroidered biocanvas demonstration.
