...Materialization
of pain
One
of the essential elements in "A Cry" is insistence
on the patient and long process of handwork in the creation
of the artwork. In Janešlieva's symbolic language this
has the meaning of some kind of a shamanic cure. The endless
embroidering as a symbolic and true process of shaping the
emotions and the consciousness is juxtaposed with the truth
of the painful awareness that nothing has changed even after
one hundred years since the statement made by H.N. Brailsford
in the ironical and ridiculing anecdote about the corruptive
meaning of the comfort of beds, which are at the root of
"the Macedonian problem". The meaning of the suggestive
treatment applied in "The Wailing Bed", is similar.
There the materialization of pain and "the return of
the object to history" resembles the patient spreading
of lace made of sharp, but very fragile shells.
