TAPESTRY

 …..the idea came to me when I was working at the Art Basel and dealing with all the waste from fast such a fast art market installations. Tons of fabric from non-permanent installations become material for my tapestries. I recycled them and turned them back to art.....

This body of the work was made by using recycled material, an acient weaving technique, symbolic images, and stitching. The work, Tapestry consisting of three pieces, is made by using an ancient method of binding carpets which dates back to Egypt, 5th century BC. This weaving technique applies rolled fabric, called Molton. For this particular work, more than 1 km rolled fabric, Molton, had been used. It has been produced with old theater curtains and art fair materials; it was left in containers as trash. I recycled it and turned it back to life. Each of the strands is made separately by rolling the fabric. First, I created a cord, that I sewed it with a needle and then I got long ropes which I could sew together carefully by hand on the canvas. By stitching the rolled fabric into the tapestry, I achieved a feeling of unsteady waves in paintings which refers to one waves of the sea and it becomes like painting for the wall.
