Isa Melsheimer Lorenz Attractor, 2015
Fabric, pearls, thread
2 parts
300 x 280 cm
The work Lorenz Attractor consists of two panels of a delicate pink translucent fabric. The left half shows two ellipses unfolding from a yarn embroidery, which unite to form a butterfly shape. On the right side, three smaller holes in the fabric are joined together by their surrounding bead embroidery. At the bottom, the right curtain ends with a compartment of diverging colors. From this arrangement, held in shades of grey and blue, rhizome-like embroideries emerge, striving upwards towards the openings without reaching them.
