Lina Jonike
Uses a combination of digital photography printed in large scale on cloth and embroidery to create a textural narrative that works in apposition to the base image, sometimes referencing clothing or cloth, at other times forming a mysterious secondary narrative to the image. At the heart of the work is a personal investigation into cultural identity.
