Dreams of chairs

Dreams of chairs

Jacquard tapestry, cotton thread 215×155 cm

"The Dreams of Chairs" is a reference to Brodsky's "The Great Elegy of John Donne." "The Lord is only a light in the window, // On a foggy night in the farthest house." 

 It is no coincidence that the first line of the stanza has been omitted. The divine has departed, leaving only the light in the window and the sleeping chairs. They float in the air. I hope that on this carpet, I have managed to convey the themes of sleep, dreams, and tranquility. The moonlit window, where the moon is not visible but is implied, yes? And the silence, the tranquility inside the house.

The "Stands, Lies, and Flies" collage had a different story

You can buy a carpet on the project's website.
