Mappa del Mondo

Wool and silk tapestry

Maps

Embroidery

A map of the world cut from what appears to be paint peeled from a wall, mounted on paper and framed.

Staring at the wall with an unfocused eye, while the brain is working something else – perhaps sitting on the toilet or maybe taking a break from gazing at the computer screen, the brain finds patterns and forms in peeling paintwork of details of brushstrokes. The daydreaming reverie finding the country map, a cultural shape more symbolic and timeless than the flag. Islands drawn out in the peeling paint like distant memories of once Great Nations.
