Original artwork description:

Opus 9 is a woven wall art and it is part of a series that takes inspiration from the ancient construction technique of the stone huts (tholos), rural shelters used by shepherds in central Italy. In this almost lost technique, the stones were carefully chosen and superimposed layer by layer without the use of lime or bonding material. Somehow it was a kind of wall weaving where each stone between the interstices contributes to stability. I used a similar approach in the weaving by using different kind of yarns, remainders from others warps and colours to create the texture.

Materials used:

cotton, raffia, bamboo, hemp
