I am honored to be included among the talented artists invited to participate in the Space Between exhibit curated by the fabulous duo of Leslie Jenison and Jamie Fingal. My piece is Steni Mezhdu Sosedyami/Стены Между Соседями/Walls Between Neighbors.
Here are a couple of close ups. I used vintage lace curtains, my own photos of inspirational St. Petersburg, Russia architecture, manipulated in Photoshop® and printed on organza, recycled paper, rayon thread and variegated embroidery floss. It is mostly hand stitched. If any of you follow me on Twitter or Facebook you might have seen me complain of my raw fingers...this is why!

Oh my goodness. That is a lot of stitching, but so worth it. It is beautiful.
This is a great picture of a fabulous piece. Congratulations on the show, too.
gorgeous. really.
Congratulations, it's a wonderful piece!
Congratulations Natalya! I now see why your fingers were sore. The sneak peeks are beautiful. One day I hope to either see your work in person or own a piece myself. Have a beautiful week.
omg -- you've outdone yourself.
Congrats.
I love how the curtain lace patterns play with the print of older architecture. It's a wonderful piece and congrats on having it included in the "Spaces Between" show.
I like the way the stitching distorts the curtain. Definitely worth it as it blends all the layers together. Congratulations on your acceptance!
Very, very beautiful!
This is just gorgeous! The efect is mesmerising!!!
Glorious!!!!! I love the texture that the lace gives to the photos - almost an underwater with pattern look!!! Yes I can certainly understand sore fingers- you do use thimbles I hope??????
Natalia, how big is this piece? It's beautiful and very close to my heart (no, I've never been in Petersburg).
congrats on the show. this is as others have said so gorgeously beautiful and evocative. i love the way you meld photos on cloth and cloth itself and the stitches. i like the unusual angle of view. best of luck
