Zara Merrick textile art
The hands of a talented artist and jeweler Zara Merrick transform the scraps of cloth into a real piece of art with intricate detail. English craftswoman Merrick often uses old fabrics from her own collection, and constantly replenishes it with vintage and new fabrics from antique French and English fairs. According to Zara herself, it is embroidery itself that makes the product complete.
“I like to feel how a piece of flat work turns into something tangible, filled with various textures and patterns”, she says. Noteworthy, it takes her about a month to completely finish a panel about 70 cm high. But the result is definitely worth it! “Sometimes I myself am amazed at how I manage to create something like that,” Zara admits. Anyway, the love of creativity does not allow her to stop on what she has achieved.
Meanwhile, the main inspiration for the artist – all kinds of birds.
