Artista Andrea Donnelly se crió en Carolina del Norte. Crea grandes obras textiles tejidas con figuras humanas. Su obra explora el contraste entre la precisión del tejido a mano y las cualidades imprevisibles de la tinta. Donnelly utiliza la fotografía para crear las figuras humanas de su obra. Utiliza la tela para crear una imagen especular de la figura mediante un proceso de "teñir, tejer, destejer y volver a tejer".
Through passage of time and rhythm of repetition, the actions of weaving are captured and layered like memory in the buildup of thread upon thread.
Andrea Donnelly
To create Body Blot #1, Donnelly photographed herself in different poses. She says her interest in the inkblot effect “is not in perfect symmetry.” She is interested in the beauty of the design’s imperfections. Her designs represent the experience of being an imperfect human as well as her interest in psychology. The inkblot designs in Donnelly’s work look similar to Rorschach inkblot tests. These tests were originally used to diagnose psychological disorders.
