About Palladio ( words by Homo Faber ):

The tapestry-like wall sculpture ‘Palladio’ was created for the 2022 Homo Faber exhibition “Crafting a More Human Future” in Venice, Italy. The thin yarns are finely woven to create subtle color gradients, inspired by the lace-like octagonal pattern of the terrace of the Basilica of San Giorgio, on San Giorgio Maggiore Island.

‘Palladio’ is handcrafted using mohair threads on a cotton warp base on a tapestry loom. Signe Emdal used her signature LOOP fusion technique, based on a manual translation of the electric tufting machine. In this process, ongoing rows of loops with six thin mohair threads are woven together with wool in a classic rug construction.
