Don\u2019t miss the captivating works of Sylvie Selig, now proudly showcased at the Taipei Biennial 2025!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sylvie Selig combines traditional painting and collage techniques with delicate materials such as animal bones, plants, and found natural objects in her exhibited works. Her embroidered drawings are made with repetitive stitches that have no clear beginning or end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The triptych Daphne is based on the ancient Greek myth of Daphne. It shows three moments: her escape from the god Apollo, her transformation into a tree, and her connection to the earth. For Selig, Daphne\u2019s story represents the yearning for freedom through her conversion into a tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The embroidery There\u2019s a Unicorn in My Garden is inspired by a short story by American writer James Thurber. In the story, a man claims he sees a unicorn in his garden\u2014but no one believes him. The artist references the tale to emphasize the importance of believing in one\u2019s own dreams, even when others don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two figures from Sylvie Selig\u2019s New Weird Family series\u2014created from mannequins, plants, and found objects\u2014stand nearby like guardians of a dream world, encouraging viewers to find magic in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selig explores themes of freedom, transformation, and the power of imagination. Using embroidery as one of her many techniques, she stitches stories thread by thread, combining traditional craft with natural materials that often symbolize change and fragility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
