Red and blue thread on canvas
Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood
In this ongoing series Laura Renée Maier develops a meticulous intervention with red thread embroidered on canvas which compels the viewer to understand the parallel anatomies of plant and human bodies that have always coexisted.
Extended veins and anatomical landscapes play on the fragile plasticity of the textile to remind us that we are all a part of the same root and together we make the same flesh.
The structural and extensive interconnections that make up our limited spaces as individual beings, create a network of connections and complex systems that communicate through threads and fine veins, housing our collective memory. However, the question remains for the viewer as to how these lines are prolonged invisibly to continue weaving memory across the distance.
