A compact boucherouite woven from recycled textiles and organized into a lively checkerboard of color. The hand-cut rag pile forms mosaic squares in tawny sand, inky black, cobalt, emerald, plum, fuchsia, brick, and olive—vernacular geometry with gallery energy.

Weave & Touch

Hand-knotted rag-pile on a cotton foundation. Plush, irregular tufts produce a soft, tactile surface with subtle height shifts that animate the grid in changing light. Upcycled cloth off-cuts ensure each composition is materially unique and circular by design.
