    The artistic manifestation of the play of light and shadow

     

    Eva Petrič is highly regarded for her body of work using various interpretations of lace, exploiting the part translucency of the delicate fabric material.

     

    Lanterns are simple yet elaborate light fixtures illuminating entrances, gates and hallways. As such, lanterns symbolise a portal or passage into another, perhaps more elated area or world.

     

    With TELEshadowPORTATION Eva creates her signature interplay of light and shadow, opening mystic worlds of twilight to cast the world in a special light.

     

    The series was developed on the occasion of our 200th anniversary and first presented at the Vienna Design Week in 2023.

    This design showcases not only the handcrafting expertise skilled craftsmanship of our artisans and Eva‘s creative power. But foremost the rich history of several epochs of styles and designs of LOBMEYR throughout the centuries of activity and European cultural heritage, apt for an anniversary design.

     

    In working with Lobmeyr Petrič combines her material of choice with her skills of glass engraving. Her decorated glass panes enrich the light of the lanterns with pictures of different worlds, emphasizing the functionality of them as waymarks into a poetic world of tender shadow images of crystal and lace.

    For Petrič emotions are like shadows. She explains: „We all have them, whether we acknowledge them or not. In fact, we belong to a community of shadows, which accompany and accept each and every one of us – although we often do not notice them.

     

    Both shadows and emotions are ungraspable; appearing and disappearing, they often trick us. They are like the twists and turns in my shadow images, translated into Idrija lace, passing from black to white and negative to positive.“
