PIBIòNES

Collection “Mediterranean Grafts”, produced by LITHEA – Patti (Messina), Italy

2018

Wall “tapestries” made out of chiselled natural stone, inspired to a weaving technique peculiar to Sardinia (Italy), where decorations – geometric patterns, allegories or ancient symbols of prosperity and fertility, such as the vine branch or the lapwing bird – are enhanced by a sort of grains in relief (named pibiònes) generated by sequences of small loops executed with the weft thread.
