- BLOOMS, the solo exhibition by New York-based Finnish textile artist Heidi Hankaniemi presents a series of vintage floral embroideries brought together to flourish. This exhibition was part of New York Textile Month 2021 and took place at the Finnish Consulat in New York from Sept 15th until Nov 15th 2021
Heidi Hankaniemi’s practice is based on the belief that objects have a physical memory and that handmade textiles absorb an essence from their makers.
Hankaniemi collects vintage handiworks: floral embroideries, laces, crochets, linens, and doilies from flea markets and charity shops across the world. She combines and constructs them by sewing pieces into larger collages and installations. The materials are the labor of a myriad of anonymous women (and men) and manifest a testament to skill, patience and perseverance.
The moment that you united those blue flowers from 2 different maker’s hands was so special 💙
This video deserves much more praise and views. She speaks my language. I have found that by creating my art and taking long walks through my neighborhood, I can find comfort and sanity in the hard things that life throws at me....esp since I was diagnosed with a cellular disease last year which there is no cure for, I have had to come to terms with my own mortality and find ways to keep my mind centered yet occupied. I discovered stitchery last spring which has developed into my art practice and is beginning to take on a very different perspective, which I am thoroughly enjoying. So, I fully understand and appreciated hearing Heidi's story here. TY so much for sharing. I came upon this video by random...obviously meant to be. Cheers from Tampa, FL.
