Dunja Krcek
Dunja Krcek, born in 1990, is a visual artist based in Vienna. She works mainly with the media of painting, textiles and site-specific installations. In her practice she is interested in the visual exploration of the concepts of atmosphere, relational space and "felt sense”. She sees her work as a correspondence and direct interaction with specific places. With her installations she aims to initiate participatory and intimate spaces that provide a framework to connect with the environment and oneself.

Title: Butterflies for Transformation
Category: Textile art
Description: plant-dyed fabrics, embroidery technique
‘Butterflies for Transformation’ are hand-embroidered drawings freely formed with yarn. They are small invitations to connect with the here and now, to stop for a moment and let your gaze wander through the living nature. They are a contemplation on metamorphosis and the constantly changing processes in nature.
