Ismini Samanidou



There is something magic about the written word, I think we are all pinning for the texture of paper with words embossed into it by the pressure of a loved ones hand. So much so, that we now look upon found scraps, such as shopping lists as treasure.

Ismini Samanidou's weavings are a 'timeline' for The Jerwood Space, that reference the informal, formal and unintentional recordings of history. They are like a giant love letter, ledger, map or shopping list in which you can delight in the texture and character of hand written and printed text.
