Margarita's practise moves between art, craft and science. Meticulous, large-scale hand embroidery in wax and cotton thread becomes a way of forming sculptural objects, creating surfaces where she explores how embroidery stretches and inhabits space.

She looks at the world through a magnified lens, gathering fragments that gradually assemble and brings her closer to a larger whole. Threaded micro-environments unfold across shaped fabrics, carrying a visual language of afterthoughts. Self-collected plant remnants, traces of patterns observed in nature, bright underwater organisms and by-passing landscapes mixed with imagination become fragments of quiet information, telling stories of wander and hidden connections that Margarita seek to understand.

An ongoing study of the phenomenology of appearance guides her work, shifting viewpoints within our relationship to nature, seasonal change, and the anatomical world we inhabit. Sculpted or embroidered elements introduce human presence through bodily fragments, ears, hands, and feet, forming sensory points of connection with the outside world. At its core, is an awareness of how we experience our surroundings, attending to the smallest details and unseen processes, inviting a deeper sense of their transient nature, systems, symbolism and meanings that shape the universe.
