THE UNDERGROWTH
In her solo exhibition at Gallery Heptagon, Mednicov presents work in washi, textile, and ceramic media that investigate permanence and transformation through a regional naturalistic lens.
Dimensional washi works encasing local flora were developed in residence at Awagami Factory in Tokushima, Japan. Ceramic works informed by a range of plant matter were produced at Studio Yuka Kikumoto in Arita, Japan.
Mednicov also developed a limited-edition tufted rug in collaboration with Kyoto-based weaver, Toyoshima Mikiya. Drawing from Toyoshima’s garden as a source, Mednicov produced a monoprint that was subsequently transformed into a lush shadow image of ever changing nature.
