The project on which my work is based is the interactions of two media –digital and textile medium as a form of expressing and conveying messages through visual art.

All the elements are in fact application of cultural identity that is based on a mix of different cultural forms, so I'm dedicated myself to traditional motifs/ornaments which I modified through unique visual perception.

The ratio of digital arts and textile medium are equivalent to the cultural tolerance.
Despite their different lifestyles and life attitude it is very important to display the tolerance of two medias or two cultures. This should show textile and digital media tolerance that provides unique visual and artistic message - and that is tolerance, altruism, art.

Пројекат на коме се заснива мој рад је интеракција два медија:
Један од најважнијих елемената у пројекту је интерактивни однос два медија, у овом случају текстилног и дигиталног медија који узајамно учествује у креирању новог визуелног писма.Сви ликовни елементи су употреба различитих културних образаца..стога сам се посветио традиционалним мотивима које сам разбио и модификовао у нову естетску форму.

Такође јако је битна паралела између оба медија...
Упркос различитим стиловима живота и животним ставовима, веома је важно да се прикаже толеранција два медија или две културе, (у овом случају текстила и дигиталне уметности) које пружају јединствену визуелну и уметничку поруку - а то је толеранција, алтруизам и уметност.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
