During this time, I visited local cultural attractions, attended workshops and lectures, learned techniques for modeling and painting on clay, and created two ceramic works. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I visited the historic churches in the villages of Ieud, Bogdan Vod\u0103, and Dragomire\u0219ti, the Merry Cemetery in S\u0103p\u00e2n\u021ba, and the towns of Bor\u0219a and Sighetul Marma\u021biei. I learned about the mural painting in the area, the restoration projects that have taken place in the local churches, and their inclusion in the UNESCO heritage list. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the house-studio where I stayed during the first days, I participated in informal weaving workshops (witnessing the setup of two traditional weaving looms by local weavers), learned to weave on a loom with cotton threads, and practiced braiding with 6, 8, and 12 threads.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the natural dyeing workshops led by experts Florica Zaharia (Textile Museum of B\u0103i\u021ba, Hunedoara) and Irina Popoviciu (National Museum of Romanian History, Bucharest), I learned about various types of dyes (turmeric, chenille copper, Persian berry, etc.), and how to dye wool and cotton with them. Additionally, I attended a lecture by Mrs. Zaharia on the optimal conservation of textiles, which included information on conservation procedures from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, where she worked for over 30 years as a textile conservator and restorer. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also participated in informal ceramics workshops, including the construction of an open ceramic kiln of Neolithic type, led by ceramist Ilie Mihali. I worked on two ceramic pieces inspired by the residency and the Maramure\u0219 landscape. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first piece was inspired by cotton spools used in weaving, which I recreated in clay. This piece was then glazed with cobalt blue and fired at 950 degrees Celsius. It is titled &#8220;Textile as Ceramic &#8211; Tester I&#8221; and represents my first work in ceramics, with further iterations planned to refine it.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second piece is a landscape taken from the area between Maramure\u0219 County and Bistri\u021ba County, depicting a summer scene with traditional haystacks alongside modern roads and cars. It is titled \u201cS\u0103cel as Shan Shui (S\u0103cel as a Chinese Landscape)\u201d and engages in dialogue with traditional Chinese painted landscapes as well as the blue and white ceramic objects of the same culture. It is painted on commercial porcelain tile and simultaneously evokes contemporary intimate spaces, particularly bathrooms and kitchens, where tile is ubiquitous but devoid of traditional Oriental decorativeness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both works were exhibited in the \u201cLinia Izei\u201d exhibition at the S\u0103cel Cultural Center and will be developed further for the final exhibition at Anca Poterasu Gallery in Bucharest. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;3218,3217,3219,3220,3221,3223,3222,3224,3225&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">Artists for Artists Residency Network (AFAR) is an EU co-funded and co-funded by the Administration of the National Cultural Fund<em>, <\/em>project and residency program, aiming to improve the mobility of contemporary visual artists and curators in Romania, Germany, Croatia, and Austria.
