Kiki’s largest tapestry to date pushes the boundaries of working entirely in white on white: how far can colour be stripped away, and how much of the message still remains visible? It depicts a landscape inspired by her own backyard garden: a hand-built tree hut surrounded by plants, bushes and trees, and a path leading to dreams. It suggests that a dream does not always have to be somewhere far away or out of reach; sometimes it can be found very close to home, quite literally, in one’s own backyard.
The tapestry is a rich experiment in texture, technique and material. Yarns and fibres, including paper, alpaca wool, recycled polyester, linen, cotton and mohair, create a tactile landscape that shifts from soft to rough, matte to shiny and subtly glittering.
