Diary of a Weaving Story

I seldom see an artist with such a personal connection to her art. Showing at the ARDEL Gallery of Modern Art, Diary of a Weaving Story by Imhathai Suwatthanasilp details the love and connection in her family. From the artist:

"Diary of a Weaving Story" is the latest solo exhibition by Imhathai Suwatthanasilp a young female artist from Silpakorn University whose artworks have been awarded in many art competitions. She also has been granted several scholarships from international art institutes. Imhathai's works of art originate from the love and connection in her family. To stress this idea the artist uses her own hair, which have been collected after her father had cut his hair and given it to his 4 daughters, as a key medium that reflects love and union between family members. Having been the representative of the whole family as the symbol of the family's blood and soul, the hair that were weaved together also serves as a diary that keeps reminding her of the memorable experiences and the relationship that have been transferred from generation to generation.

In exhibition from March 3, 2010 - April 7, 2010
