She also participated in a workshop by Nikolina Knežević Hrgović “Weaving Techniques”.

   

 

My residency lasted from June 14 to July 14 in Zagreb, Croatia. During this time, I was developing my own technology for working with hemp fiber. I have developed my own technique of using hemp fibers. Typically, hemp fibers are commonly used to make ropes, but also used to seal plumbing installations. I bought fibers from the manufacturer in bulk and started dyeing them using natural methods. For a long time I didn’t know how to proceed with the prepared material. I started doing a test with paper glue. I decided to try the technique of laying fibers on a piece of plexiglass and covering it with a thin layer of diluted glue. After many attempts, I created the perfect recipe and technique. The prepared sheets are easy to cut with scissors. At the same time, I had a meeting with the audience at Putolovac Gallery led by Leonid Kovač entitled “your type of unity” Art practice as a way to hold yourself up. I participated in weaving workshops led by Nikolina Knezevic. During my stay, I visited many galleries and museums. I met many local artists and became familiar with creative initiatives. My entire stay in Zagreb was very intense and hard-working. I created 9 works that will take part in exhibitions in Vienna, Zagreb and Bucharest.
