Topographie Imaginaire

The topography of an imaginary territory is the theme of this modern carpet in wool, bamboo silk, hemp and linen. A mountainous area is recognisable in the upper part of the piece. In the large lower part is a plain furrowed by watercourses. Throughout the design, trees are represented, joined together in an imaginary network of capillaries. An irregularly shaped carpet that is a tribute to the beauty of nature and a warning to preserve it intact.
