Shir Melech is a textile artist whose work explores the relationships between people, materials, and the natural world. Working through print and weaving, she examines how connections are formed, altered, and broken through processes of assembly and disassembly.

In her cyanotype works, Melech places glass plates and fragments on fabric coated with a light-sensitive solution. Their transparency, structure, and changing positions affect the passage of sunlight and shape the printed image. Light, water, time, and environmental conditions become active participants in the process, producing a unique composition in each print.

In her woven works, threads become both material and metaphor for human connection. Through repetitive acts of joining and crossing, she creates structures that hold individual gestures within a shared surface.

Across these mediums, Melech creates large-scale abstract works that bring together material, movement, and memory. Rich in shifting shades of blue, her cyanotypes evoke distant galaxies, glacial landscapes, and microscopic views of water.
