'The Ability to Forget' Tapestry by Aino Kajaniemi
£2,180.00
“Memory is selective. My tapestries depict the ephemeral nature of memories and their impact on our personality. How the crust of time fades emotions and colours. Is it better to live in memories, in the future through dreams, or in the present? When I draw and weave, I am in the moment. I have such a deep awareness that I can forget the technique and concentrate on the essential: telling a story.”
