PIRJO MARX IS A SELF-TAUGHT WEAVING ARTIST & LEATHERWORKER BASED IN BERLIN.

SHE WORKS WITH DIFFERENT SKILLS AND MATERIALS, ESPECIALLY NATURAL FIBERS AND

VEGETABLE LEATHER FROM OLD TRADITIONAL TANNERIES IN SOUTH-GERMANY AND THE TUSCANY/ITALY .

 

HER WORK, INSPIRED BY A DEEP ROOTED LOVE OF NATURE AND MOTHER EARTH,

BY ANTIQUE TEXTILES, FOLK ART, TRADITIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIPS AS WELL AS FRIENDS

AND THE WORLD AROUND HER, IS AS MUCH A REFLECTION OF HER EMOTIONS AND HER  SOUL.

SHE IS TRYING TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY FROM MACHINES AND ELECTRICITY

AS OFTEN AS SHE CAN.

                                 

                                         

PIRJO MARX IS A ONE WOMAN SHOW

EVERY SINGLE LEATHER ITEM IS HANDCRAFTED AND HAND SEWN.

EACH WOVEN PIECE IS ONE-OF-A-KIND AND SLOWLY WOVEN ON A JAPANESE FLOOR LOOM.

AND SO IT IS WITH THE DRAWINGS, EVERY DRAWING IS AN ORIGINAL AND THEREFORE A UNIQUE PIECE.

 

ESPECIALLY HAND WEAVING IS TIME - CONSUMING .

IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO MORE THAN WEEKS TO COMPLETE A WORK OF ART.

THE PRICES REFLECT CAREFULLY SELECTED MATERIALS AND THE MANY HOURS OF LABOR .
