Nushi Muntaabski

The artist Nushi Muntaabski chose textile as the medium to transfer her work El Descanso to a new format. Created in 2015 for the Experta Seguros building, the original work is a site-specific ceramic mosaic that is part of the Pampa Collection.

To exhibit it at the Leo Werthein Foundation, the artist invited us to reinterpret her work in a new textile language. The result is a 100% wool tapestry, 480 x 200 cm, which translates the mosaic into a new materiality. It was woven with hand-tufting technique and elaborated with 21 colors, selected from the palette of the original work.
