This multidimensional weaving work is part of the „Composition on the canvas” project. The fabric is structurally based on a repeatedly perforated canvas and spatially interwoven modules. They form a kind of fleece shaped into a harsh landscape.

The work presents an artistic record of the artist’s experiences with nature: severity, changeability, plasticity. Craftmanship here, interweaving is like a physical cultivation of the land, it teaches humility, respect, it calms down and at the same time opens the space of unlimited freedom.
