FraFra tapestry N01

Alvaro Catalán de Ocón states, “As a designer, I find it hard to justify an aesthetic decision; however, the Frafra Tapestry is based on an architectural plan interpreted by the artisans.” The Frafra Tapestry emerges from a prolonged research process. Each piece translates the architectural plan of a specific Frafra family compound, interpreted by local artisans by means of elephant grass. These are objective documents that precisely represent a construction tradition feared to disappear. The traditional dense weaving extends in circles and lines that articulate the daily life of a family. Its growth is reflected in rooms, courtyards, and walls, captured in the tapestry as a poetic architectural plan. The bicolor language articulates a compelling aesthetic message intended for contemplation in these large-format pieces.
