Tzuri Gueta: SI51

The combination of sophisticated polymeric knowledge, textile traditions and the human element is the subject of the exhibition by textile designer Tzuri Gueta. Gueta (b.1968), a graduate of the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, has developed over the years surprisingly unsophisticated techniques for synthesizing natural fibers and synthetic polymers. He crosses between the technological and the traditional and seeks to expand the surface of fabric and thread using silicone, the polymer Si51, beyond its physical and functional boundaries. In recent years Gueta has expanded his work beyond the texture of fabric to objects and light fixtures.
