Dark and Delicate Hand Embroidered Piece by Adipocere

Adipocere is an Austrailian artist who creates hand embroidery illustrations almost exclusively on natural linen. He developed an interest in embroidery as art in 2014 after he cross-stitched an homage to the film Alien. From there he has created his own visuals inspired by a fascination with the macabre, combining themes of innocence with an unsettling and sinister melancholy, referring to many of his works as “emotional self-portraiture”.

Uroboro Il serpente rappresenta il ciclo di vita e morte dell’Universo. Il serpente che si mangia la coda rappresenta semplicemente la ricreazione della vita attraverso la morte. Si pensa che il simbolo dell’infinito possa derivare dall’orginario simbolo dell’oruboros, perché in qualche modo il serpente rinasce dalla morte raggiungendo una specie di immortalità.

Nato nell’Antico Egito, è arrivato attraverso la tradizione magica dell’Antica Grecia, lo gnosticismo e l’ermetismo nella tradizione alchemica medievale e nel Rinascimento magico e nel simbolismo moderno.

Simbolizza l’introspezione, l’eterno ritorno, la ricreazione costante di se stessi. Rappresenta anche l’eterno ciclo di nascita e distruzione della natura.

“The alchemists, who in their own way knew more about the nature of the individuation process than we moderns do, expressed this paradox through the symbol of the Ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail.

The Ouroboros has been said to have a meaning of infinity or wholeness. In the age-old image of the Ouroboros lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process, for it was clear to the more astute alchemists that the prima materia of the art was man himself.

The Ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow. This ‘feed-back’ process is at the same time a symbol of immortality, since it is said of the Ouroboros that he slays himself and brings himself to life, fertilizes himself and gives birth to himself. He symbolizes the One, who proceeds from the clash of opposites, and he therefore constitutes the secret of the prima materia which […] unquestionably stems from man’s unconscious.”
