"Lens" rug

"Un Cielo gigantesco alle tue spalle, i miei piedi ingranditi dall’acqua, che capelli giovani avevi."
"A gigantic sky behind you, my feet enlarged by water, what young hair you had."

This is the true description of a photograph taken on the rocks many years ago. The photo was taken with a Rollei.


The daughter of a Sardinian weaver, Caterina Frongia experiments with the craftsmanship of her homeland along with a more contemporary perspective on weaving. Textile writing is the common denominator between old and new works, it is the idea that becomes form, the metaphor that turns into matter. On her rugs, stories come to life in many forms, through words, colors, symbols. Exploring Caterina's work is like diving into her personal diary, full of images and stories.
In this case, however, it is not an anthology of other people's stories encrypted and yet to be deciphered, but the typing of a sincere laying bare of the artist's personal stories.
