Stories of Matter is an installation consisting of a series of pencil drawings and soft textile sculptures. They are the outcome of intuitive, diffractive, meditative practice. It means that abstract visual forms evolve in the action of making (cutting out the shapes, drawing), each element is appearing in response to the previous and still is evolving till the whole piece is accomplished. In this work, we explore an interaction between multiple entities or phenomena expressing it intuitively into physical 3D — soft sculptures and 2D — drawings. The drawings are made individually and in solitude. The soft sculptures are made in duo. While sitting or interacting with them, the viewer can also observe the drawings, it allows an intimate relation with the work. In this environment, one can contemplate a constant entangled becoming of a matter where “environments” and “bodies” are being co-created.
