August’s display:
Viktoria Karaman
Viktoria Karaman, or MOONVI, is a fibre and object artist based in Christchurch. She combines vibrant colours and organic textures to create captivating, tactile artworks. Inspired by the rhythms of nature, she “paints” with yarn, transforming simple fibres into intricate, flowing designs that engage viewers in a meditative experience.
Viktoria believes that any object, regardless of its age or flaws, can be reborn. Her artistic journey began in 2019 with a series of quirky, functional lamps merged with tree branches, showcasing her fascination with the transformative power of upcycling. Since then, she has explored the potential of discarded everyday items found in op shops or simply on the streets, reimagining them with creativity, playfulness, and a sense of whimsy.
While her work often focuses on upcycled and found objects, Viktoria also creates richly textured wall hangings through an intuitive approach, meticulously arranging yarn into intricate, flowing patterns.
Everyone is welcome to visit her studio at the Arts Centre, or feel free to contact her through the website or email.
