Miriam Del Seppia

artistiek onderzoek - ecologie - installatie - natuur - schilderen - sculptuur - textiel

I am a visual and textile artist working across botanical dyeing, textiles, painting, drawing, ceramics and gardening. My process-driven and material-based practice focuses on plants, fibers and colors as a way of exploring connections with specific living worlds and their embedded knowledge. Colors and textiles are not only carrying fundamental expressive qualities, but are also a medium of relationship, rooted in the surrounding ecosystem. Through slow processes of self-teaching, learning from intimacy, affection and from other-than-humans, I circle around matters of care, ecology and de-growth. I am currently exploring geographical specificities and land-based knowledge connected to areas of Italy and The Netherlands.

    • Locatie: Studio17, Stavanger
    • Helle Lindskog and Miriam Del Seppia will engage with weaving as a way to create a tactile record of the everyday during their residency at Studio17. Diary writing allows for smaller and unfinished thoughts to be framed by the continuation of the writing routine. Can weaving be dealt with similarly? Towards the end of the stay, they will present their woven interventions in a duo show.

    Project

    • 29-12-2023 t/m 04-01-2024
    • Locatie: Paviljoen aan het Water, Rotterdam
    • A collaboration between artists Miriam Del Seppia, Angela Grigolato and Valeria Moro, running since 2020 and mood from a collective translation of the essay by Ursula K. Le Guin “The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction”. Their methodology is a way of spending time together while also digesting and unfolding the multiple meanings contained in words, exploring different and shared images. In January 2024 the project included a residency and public presentation at Paviljoen aan het Water, Rotterdam.
