Accompanying exhibition by Stanka Golob at the Intergenerational Center of the Retirement Home Idrija
Exhibition opening: June 13th at 4:00 PM
Stanka Golob is a graduate painter and a somewhat unconventional visual artist, as she uses only sand of natural colors and various thicknesses as her painting medium. She collects it throughout Slovenia: in rivers, mountains, and quarries. She washes the sand thoroughly, sifts it to different thicknesses, and then uses it on canvas, wood, glass, and metal. This technique, while not new, is unique in that she uses sand as found in nature, and she has been exploring and refining it since 1994. Just as threads and knots intertwine in lace, grains of sand come together in her paintings.
