Patrizia Polese
Patrizia Polese lives and works in Italy. After much experience in the restoration industry (Milan-Venice, 1993-1997), she attends a three-year course at the scuola triennale d’arte Applicata (School of Visual Arts) based at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan and obtains a qualification in weaving on haute lisse loom (a vertical frame loom used to weave tapestries and rugs). Through her artistic passion she is always looking for a common language between things, and their intersection, not only of space and time but also between human elements , animals and plants. A constant effort that aims to develop awareness of the intrinsic truth of no separation between self and environment and of how everything is ruled by the individual perception through which everything is put together, broken up and then connected again.
In addition to bi and three-dimensional weaving, she makes use of other visual arts forms such as drawing, Installations and photography. She regularly exhibits her work in group and solo show in Italy as well as aborad. The most important : XXI Triennale di Milano – Woman in Italian design, XIV Triennale di arazzi – Central Textile Museum – Lodz – Polonia. Collaborates with fashion and industrial design companies . She teaches textile design at university and the art of the loom in different private and pubblic schools.
