TERRAE.
This series takes inspiration from the drawings of the moon by Galileo and Hevelius in the 1600s, it approaches fantastic ideas of discovering new lands where imaginary and personal universes take on a hybrid texture. Handwoven works from TERRAE series are characterised by irregular shapes that visually materialise and simulate imaginary lands with seas, craters, valleys and mountains. These works constitute an invitation to play with the imagination and seem to ask: What do you see when you look at me?
Is this not the question that the moon has always asked humans?
