Imponderabilia is an embroidered cloth with the centre of the composition separated in the form of an unsewn circle, obtained by working with a template imposed on it. The artist, with mathematical precision, set points at the edges of the picture, and then brings through them the black threads, which run in parallel throughout the surface of the canvas.The outcome is a composition that combines elements of abstract and objectless with handicraft and physical components. The first one can be seen in the aspiration to achieve the most perfect of geometric shapes – a circle; the second one in its refined execution method, requiring painstaking work on the form. At stake for threads precisely sewn into the cloth at regular intervals from each other, optically boosting the composition, are the title imponderabilia, in other words intangible things, which one can not weigh, measure or define precisely.
