Artist statement
ORANGE LANDSCAPE TAPESTRY is a one of a kind contemporary artwork that explores the contrast of rocky landscapes represented by the wool colors and carved cork frame. Handmade with pure portuguese wool, using tufting gun and carving techniques, the bass-relief is carved with scissors. The frame is made from portuguese expanded black cork, a sustainable material made only with the cork branches (falca) for the manufacture of cork granules that will be compiled in block clusters in an autoclave, a steaming process that's 100% natural, without use of additives. The chocolate color is a result of this process. Production of cork is the biggest industry in Portugal, and cork oak is part of portuguese rural landscape. So for this reason, this frame represents it self tradition and adds texture and contrast to this artwork.
