"It is not only gold but also worked gold in the most noble, such as to almost forget its value as metal."
F. Nietzsche, Human, too much human II

While the richest carpets concealed their noble nature with the obedient reproduction of drawings on paper of a miniaturist... the poor Kilim freely exhibited the textile nature of their designs, not subjected to any painting.
MicroKilim exposes the ancestral abstraction and the eternal richness of those free patterns, isolating the construction details as microscope slides, as in precious votive offerings for divine grace received: the faculty of weaving.
MicroKilim: unique pins hand-woven with threads of gold and silk.
Warp: Hemp.
Weft: Silk and Golden thread, recovered from warp bobbins of Lisio Weaving for Fendi Baguette.

Plastic Hali, the formless form



Plastic Hali
from Form to Formless form
in Knotted form

1 PLASTIC HALI is an artistic research in 6 experiments on the technique of rug weaving.

1.1 HALI is the Turkish word for "knotted rug" and also the name of a famous magazine on oriental rugs.

1.2 PLASTIC does not refers to plastic three-dimensional art but it is simply the material of the Knots that make up the color of the upper layer of pile, as well as the material of the Weft which, together with the Warp, is the backing of the rug. The plastic comes from shopping bags and packaging, recovered, cut into strips and inserted in the loom.
