Latest work from Victoria Potrovitza
Clockwise from left: Bridge Over the Silver Island; Central Station; Rush Hour; Summer in the City, work from conception to completion. All hand embroidery by Victoria Potrovitza, 2018.
It has been a busy year for Victoria Potrovitza since we featured her. As well as being in various exhibitions she won the Fiber Artist of San Antonio (FASA) 43rd Annual Juried Art Exhibition. She also became a member of the Surface Design Association.
As we all know textile art can be a slow process but Victoria has created 14 new pieces. As she explains, “I like to make series of 3 to 4 pieces, with similar outlines and similar colour palette.” The images above are from each series.
To learn more about Victoria and her interesting background (she was originally a fashion designer) read her interview here or if you live near Ontario she is currently exhibiting 10 images at the “World of Threads Festival”, in a solo exhibition in the Corridor Galleries at Queen Elizabeth Park Community & Cultural Center, Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
