Anna Torma's large embroideries are complex expressions of her experiences of family, immigration, joy, and the act of creation. Her richly layered textile narratives draw references from popular culture, thrift shop aesthetics, and traditional Hungarian textiles and demonstrate her deep concern for the world we live in.
Permanent Danger takes its title from Torma's large-scale 2017 work, making reference to human strife and vulnerability, threatened natural environments, and the highs and lows of daily life. Fifteen large-scale works produced by Torma between 2011 and 2021 are featured, along with essays by curators Sarah Quinton, Anne Koval, and Emily Falvey. The result is a stunning volume that allows readers to appreciate the intricacies and complexities of Torma's magnificent works.
Born in Hungary, Anna Torma immigrated to Canada in 1988 and lives in New Brunswick. A member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, she was awarded the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts -- Saidye Bronfman Award in 2020. Her work has been exhibited extensively in Canada and abroad, including at the prestigious 16th International Triennial of Tapestry in Ló dz, Poland, in 2019, and CONTEXTILE 24, the contemporary textile art biennial in Guimarã es, Portugal, in 2024.
Les grandes broderies d' Anna Torma sont des tableaux complexes qui illustrent une expé rience particuliè re de la famille, de l' immigration, de la joie et de l' acte de cré ation. Autant de ré cits emboî té s, inspiré s de la culture populaire, d' une esthé tique de friperie et de l' art textile hongrois traditionnel, qui expriment son inquié tude à l' é gard de notre monde.
L' ouvrage Danger permanent emprunte son titre à une oe uvre de grandes dimensions que Torma a cré é e en 2017 et qui é voque les combats et la vulné rabilité de l' ê tre humain, les menaces qui pè sent sur le monde naturel, ainsi que les hauts et les bas de la vie quotidienne. L' ouvrage fait la part belle à quinze oe uvres à grande é chelle des anné es 2011 à 2021 et à des textes de Sarah Quinton, Anne Koval et Emily Falvey, toutes trois conservatrices. Ré sultat: un livre superbe qui rend accessibles aux lecteurs la subtilité et la complexité des oe uvres magnifiques de l' artiste.
