#meettheartist2020 part 11 A FAQ is who/what/where do you get inspiration from? Inspiration/Ideas are everywhere. I once read that the muse can be found anywhere/everywhere, he/she/it must just find you working." 😉 Wishing you a happy productive Monday! #artistatwork #hannalietaute photographed by @k.groenewald

Goodmorning. This is a #studioshot from last year. I work from a studio at home. In the beginning it was just a corner in a room. Later a whole room and since we moved my studio is a 1bedroom flat at the back of our house. It is marvellous to have so much space for once, but I will admit that it took some to get used to. I stitch everyday unless I have to do admin or clean tubes. I work alone and do not have an assistant. Motherhood made me realise the value of time-management 😅 I wish you a lovely weekend xxx #hannalietaute #meettheartist2020 #studioview2019

I love fairy tales and fables. I do find a lot of inspiration from them. Working with fairy tales makes me able to cope with reality. I also often work with hybrid figures. In his book "The uses of enchantment" Bruno Bettleheim states that in fairy tales and dreams any physical malformation often stands for psychological misdevelopment. It is said that in these tales when the upper part of the body is animal and the lower part human, it indicates that things are wrong in the head/mind. 😬 do you have a favourite tale? #meettheartist2020 #hannalietaute part 9 fairytales

Flowers are a language of sorts (see floragraphy). The Victorians used flowers to send secret messages. I am also interested in what one would NOT say with flowers. Read between the blooms 😉 I find joy in the process of stitching a variety of blooms on small pieces of rubber and then arrange them in bouquet-like pieces..... Do you have a favorite flower? #meettheartist2020 part8 #hannalietaute #embroidered #flowers #stitchedbyhand #studiowall

Rubber is a very tactile substance and I love the skin-like quality of it, which can be highly fetishized. It also distances my work from the perceived softness or delicacy of "women's work' to become the opposite = hard labour. Working with rubber is like fusing two seemingly irreconcilable material forms together along with their associated symbolic values #meettheartist2020 part 7 - working with rubber #fortheloveofart #bemyvalentine #embroideredrubber #hannalietaute photographed by @k.groenewald

Words and titles are important to me. A title is the entrance into what the work is about, as well as having the potential for humour and mischief. Afrikaans is the language I feel comfortable with. It is a serious but also playful language. I do my thinking in Afrikaans so it is inevitable that it would show up in the titles of my work. . Title of work pictured here: "Hoogste bome vang die meeste wind" 2020 #hannalietaute #meettheartist2020 part 6
