Emblematic has its origins in a series of limited edition embroidered artworks manufactured in a Weaverville, NC embroidery factory called AB Emblem. The name Emblematic riffs on the factory name, which contains the word “emblem” and also refers to the automated processes that working within a factory has introduced to my work.

Machinery interprets and surprises with its own internal decision-making, it makes “mistakes” in different and exciting ways, introducing a new kind of imperfection and chaos to be wrangled, fought and respected, a methodology central to Nava Lubelksi's practice as an artist.

'Emblematic', on exhibit November 5 - 28, 2015, at Benchspace Gallery, The Center for Craft, Creativity & Design in conjunction with 'Made in WNC'.
