DIFFERENT MATERIAL APPROACHES IN EMBROIDERY ART; PAPER SAMPLE

Abstract

Mankind, who has been trying to position itself on earth since its existence, has turned to various efforts in order to meet its basic needs. As a result of these efforts, various branches of art have emerged. All kinds of effects, from the person who makes it to the raw material used, played a big role in the classification of these branches of art. Embroidery art, which is evaluated under the title of thread arts, was defined as feminine arts in ancient times due to the delicate structure of thread. After the Art and Craft movement, the postmodernism and emergence of the feminism movement there were breaking points in the approaches to the art of embroidery. Technological developments have also greatly affected the art of embroidery art, which has begun to take its place among the conceptual art. As a positive result of these, the art of embroidery has become an art branch that can be done by everyone, regardless of woman or man, and can be applied on any kind of surface. In the art of embroidery, which is also known as the art of ornament, it is seen that meaningful projects have started to be made as a message to social concerns. In this study, embroideries on paper surfaces were examined. Paper surfaces vary and each has a different sensitivity. Therefore, such studies are defined as experimental studies. In the study, the works made by 3 different artists on 3 different paper backgrounds were examined and their document analyzes were made. It is understood that with these works created with the idea of using the beautiful and the imperfect together, the art of embroidery has gained an identity that goes beyond the borders in material and emphasizes social events.
