The Austrian artist Monika Fioreschy (b. 1947) was in search of new forms of expression when, in the course of observing heart surgery, she was inspired to use an entirely new material for her work, medical grade silicon tubing, which she uses to weave works of art filled with fluids. Injection Art presents more than 50 of these compelling pieces. Trained in the craft of classic Gobelin weaving, Monika Fioreschy first received international recognition for her large-format, abstract and very colourful wall tapestries. Approximately 15 years ago, she began to use, as a new material, medical grade silicon tubing, similar to that used to move fluids to and from the patient during operations. The tubes range in diameter from the very fine, up to the thickness of a finger. After creating the body-like woven works of art, she uses disposable syringes to fill the tubes with various fluids, such as blood, chlorophyll and the juices of fruits and plants to give the appearance of life and thus stimulate and challenge the viewer.

Seller's Description:
Austrian artist Monika Fioreschy first gained recognition for her large-format wall tapestries woven in the Gobelin style, but it was a fascination with heart surgery that inspired her to work with entirely new material--medical-grade silicone tubing--in her most recent series of work. For Injection Art, Fioreschy incorporates various thicknesses of tubing into intricate woven works resembling bodies, using disposable syringes to inject the works with fluids like blood, chlorophyll, and plant and fruit juices to give the appearance of life. This fascinating artistic process results in works that are highly structured and unexpectedly colorful, as well as strikingly transformative as the injected liquids dry. Injection Art collects more than fifty of Fioreschy's works in this unconventional medium, bringing much-deserved attention to this new body of work.
