TERRA tapestry

Terra wall tapestry is reversible.  Weaver’s and the Mohair knot works as permanent connections. The weaver’s knots enjoy the versatile and aesthetic cross knot on both sides.

“For the Aztecs, the goddess Earth has two opposite aspects: she is the nurturing mother that allows us to live on her vegetation; on the other hand, it demands the dead, on which it feeds itself, and is in this sense destructive ” (Dictionary of Symbols, Chevalier)

The Terra wall tapestry is reversible thanks to the selection of knots. It is the rhythm and natural movement of each string, of each natural fiber.
