“BY UTILIZING NATURAL ELEMENTS, I CRAFT NARRATIVES THAT RESONATE ON MULTIPLE LEVELS—PERSONAL AND GLOBAL, CULTURAL AND EMOTIONAL."
- ITAMAR YEHIEL
Embroidery, an ancient and universal craft, has historically served as a medium for storytelling. In Itamar’s practice, he intertwines this art form with elements from nature to forge an inclusive language that transcends cultural boundaries and explores a broad spectrum of expression.
Itamar’s work synthesizes thousands of years of embroidery traditions with innovative techniques and concepts, many of which he has personally developed. By creating three-dimensional, philosophical, and emotional interpretations of objects from nature, Itamar is liberating this expressive craft from the constraints of two-dimensional fabric, giving it volume and a contemporary voice. This method repositions embroidery as fine art, embodying both tradition and innovation.
