Description
“Stuck in Folds of Dreams” is a loose interpretation of Japanese scrolls, exploring the connection between the traditional and the contemporary through materiality, and the differences between a house and a home, the lived and the dreamt through the images.
The artworks have hand-sewn elements with hand-printed linocuts of imagined landscapes, living spaces, and possible scenes, accompanied by haiku written in English.
Ana Jovanovska is an award-winning Macedonian printmaker, graphic designer and all around artist based in Tokyo. Her art practice is rooted in observation and reaction to the current time, spaces and emotions, reflecting their states within the contemporary discourse. She researches and creates intuitively, through re-examining and retelling of narratives and memories, under the presumption that the structure of personal thought and of collective societies is conditioned by the structure of language itself.
